Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, announced the launch of the second season of its popular initiative, “The Desert Bears Witness for Us,” a mobile interactive event showcasing the superior off-road capabilities of Toyota vehicles. The tour began in Riyadh last month and is currently preparing to move to Jeddah before concluding in Dammam on January 24, 2026.
A long history connects Toyota with Saudi roads
This event reinforces the long-standing and historic relationship between Abdul Latif Jameel Motors and the Saudi market, dating back to 1955. For decades, Toyota vehicles, particularly its SUVs, have been intertwined with the memories of Saudi citizens and the Kingdom's diverse landscapes, from golden sand dunes to rugged mountain roads. This event extends this legacy, allowing the new generation to experience the durability and reliability for which the brand has long been known in the region, further solidifying its position as a trusted partner for mobility within the Kingdom.
A complete family experience and modern technologies
The “Desert Bears Witness” event is more than just a driving experience; it’s a comprehensive weekend entertainment event. This year’s edition allows visitors to test drive the latest Toyota models, most notably the high-performance Land Cruiser HEV Max hybrid, reflecting the global and local trend towards adopting more sustainable technologies without compromising on power. In addition to the exciting driving experiences, the event offers a family-friendly environment with interactive games for children, live music performances, and designated photo zones, making it an ideal destination for all ages.
Record numbers and strategic goals
Building on the resounding success of the inaugural event, which drew over 4,500 participants and attracted more than 10,000 visitors, the company aims to raise the bar even higher this year. In this context, Shahd Naseer, Executive General Manager of Marketing Communications at Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, emphasized that the goal is to deliver exceptional experiences and enhanced driving routes that bolster guest confidence and highlight the company's values of reliability and quality.
From an economic and social perspective, these initiatives align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, specifically the Quality of Life Program, by providing diverse entertainment options for citizens and residents. The event also contributes to supporting the local automotive sector by empowering consumers to make informed purchasing decisions based on firsthand experience, thereby enhancing consumer awareness and raising the standards of competition in the market.

Abdul Latif Jameel Motors continues to welcome those interested in embarking on this adventure. Registration is open for the Jeddah event scheduled for January 9th and 10th, followed by the closing events in Dammam on January 16th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th.
