In yet another milestone added to his illustrious career, Qatari rally legend Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah, aged 54, was crowned champion of the 2025 Jordan International Rally, one of the key rounds of the Middle East Rally Championship. Al-Attiyah delivered a phenomenal performance, dominating the race by winning 11 out of 12 stages, securing a clear path to victory.
Widely regarded as one of the most iconic figures in rallying both regionally and globally, Al-Attiyah once again showcased his unmatched expertise and consistency. His near-complete sweep of the stages reflected his total command of the rally from start to finish and cemented his rightful claim to the title.
The rally took place across Jordan’s diverse and challenging terrains — from the rugged landscapes around the Dead Sea to the dramatic elevations near Petra and Wadi Rum. However, Al-Attiyah, backed by his experienced technical team, navigated these obstacles with precision and confidence, proving once again why he remains at the top of his game.
Speaking after his win, Al-Attiyah expressed his deep satisfaction, highlighting the special place the Jordan Rally holds in his heart due to its unique challenges and high-level competition.

This latest title adds to Al-Attiyah’s long list of achievements, reinforcing his legacy as a pillar of motorsport in the Middle East. He is no stranger to victory in Jordan, having won the rally multiple times, in addition to his world titles in cross-country rallying and his outstanding performances in the Dakar Rally.
Beyond the racetrack, Al-Attiyah is also a renowned Olympic athlete in shooting, having won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics — a testament to his rare athletic versatility and commitment to excellence.
With this triumph, Nasser Al-Attiyah continues to make history, proving that age is no barrier to passion, determination, and professionalism — but rather a motivation to stay at the top and keep striving for greatness.
