On the same time as the Taklimakan Rally last year they held a 2 day Desert rally in Turlafan.The price was alot cheaper to enter which included all accommodation in hotel's and all meals and a free tour around Turlafan for your family or friends.It was for bikes only too.Strangely enough the person who organized this is a good friend of the people who organized the Taklimakan desert rally.The Turlafan desert rally was still run last year.

The Tulafan desert rally is more laid back.
