Abu Dhabi Spartan Agoge 2021

The 60-hour non-stop Arabia edition takes place among the shifting sands of the fabled Rub’ al Khali or “Empty Quarter,” a brutal and inhospitable desert that stretches over 225,000 square miles. The region is the largest sand desert in the world, and it has tested the lives of great explorers for centuries.

Under the sun and stars, Agoge students will learn to survive among the dunes like the nomadic Bedouin, hunt for oases using ancient trade maps, battle and barter for morsels of food and water, outwit warring enemy tribes, fly falcons and herd camels, and ultimately discover if they have what it takes to be one of the world’s few to graduate from AGOGE.
