The UAE’s most thrilling automotive festival, Kandura Rally, is set to return for its highly anticipated fourth edition on April 19, 2025, at Dubai Festival City Mall. This year’s event promises to be more spectacular than ever, bringing together an extraordinary collection of supercars, hypercars, classic automobiles, luxury vehicles, superbikes, modified builds, off-road beasts, and custom creations.

The event is free to attend and open to the public, offering an immersive experience for enthusiasts, industry professionals, and families alike.

Building on the immense success of previous editions, Kandura Rally has established itself as a prestigious platform that celebrates automotive excellence and craftsmanship. Last year’s event made history by partnering with the Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour, introducing the globally renowned competition to the Middle East for the first time. The Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour gives custom builders a shot at global glory - with the winning car in the global finals turned into a 1:64 die-cast and inducted into the iconic Garage of Legends™.

"We’re excited to bring the Hot Wheels Legends Tour back to the Middle East and once again showcase the region’s incredible builds, creativity, authenticity, and true garage spirit. This tour is a tribute to the builders, visionaries, and all those in the automotive world who pour their passion and countless hours into their drive to be legendary," said Apostolis Karampatzakis, vice president and country manager, Mattel.

The tour’s first-ever Middle East winner, Sameh Helal, represented the region on the global stage at the semi-finals. He showcased a fully customised 2016 Beetle 5C R-Line that captivated judges with its engineering ingenuity and design. His entry, featuring a Stage 2+ tuned turbo engine, an IS38 turbo upgrade, Vossen monoblock rims, Recaro racing seats, and a bespoke widebody kit, underscored the creativity and innovation that define the spirit of Kandura Rally.

Pragna Vaya, managing director of Orbit Events, the organisers of Kandura Rally, expressed excitement about this year’s event, stating, “Kandura Rally is not just about showcasing incredible vehicles; it is about celebrating the craftsmanship, and the  community that fuel the UAE’s vibrant motoring culture.”

Powered by Hotwheels Legends Tour and Amaron Batteries, Kandura Rally will once again bring together the region’s most extraordinary vehicles, offering participants the opportunity to compete for top honours across multiple categories. The competition will highlight some of the finest examples of automotive craftsmanship, from classic icons to modern supercars, custom-engineered masterpieces, and high-performance machines that redefine excellence. Owners of standout vehicles will have the chance to showcase their prized possessions, with an expert panel and public voting determining the winners.

As the countdown begins to April 19, the stage is set for another landmark edition of Kandura Rally. Owners of exceptional vehicles are encouraged to register and secure their place in this celebrated event.
