By definition motocross is a closed circuit, off-road motorsport that takes place on a natural track consisting of man-made obstacles and jumps; the layout itself also makes use of the landscape for elevation changes, terrain and distinctive features.

A Grand Prix sees the riders of each class complete two 30 minute and 2 lap motos, with 25 points awarded to the winner and scaling down to one point for 20th place. The standings of both races are combined for an overall result.

Free practice and Qualifying race will be on Friday 26th from 15:00 until 21:00 and races will take place on Saturday 27th from 16:00 until 22:00.

Grand Stand is free for the general Public and VIP tickets costs QR1000 for both days and Two day Paddock tickets costs Q100.
