Whether it’s classic charm or modern motors that make guests’ hearts race, Offset 2024’s collection is sure to inspire attendees from start to finish. The wheels that end up in P7 Arena as part of the showcase go through a rigorous application process, thoughtfully selected by the GCC-based scouting team, each chosen due to their high visual appeal, and unique modifications. Participants are selected from all over the region – including UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
While the highlight of the two-day event is the extravagant display of cars at P7 Arena, the event is also a celebration of the region’s amazing street culture. Open to families, car enthusiasts, and those looking for a fun-fueled weekend, Offset invites guests to get down and dirty with the dedicated spaces for graffiti, skating, and more. Headed up by Graffiti Dubai, attendees are encouraged to be inspired by the live graffiti artists working their magic and let their colours shine by trying out graffiti for themselves, guided by Graffiti Academy Dubai.

Guests are welcome to try their luck at the driving simulator competition, the winner for which leaves with an epic prize (to be revealed at the event)!
