- Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands)
- Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc (Rally of the Gazelles)
- Guests can also learn the rich history of the ancient inhabitants of the Sahara, the Berbers.
- The exhibit includes a lifelike diorama of Marathon of the Sands with race gear and trophies from Moroccan competitors as well as an interactive photo opportunity highlighting Rally of the Gazelles.
