The '''2007 [[Dakar Rally]]''' was the 29th running of the event. It started in [[Lisbon]], [[Portugal]] on 6 January and ran through [[Europe]] and [[Africa]] until 21 January [[2007 in sport|2007]]. It was the last time the event would take place in Africa, as the 2008 event (billed as the ''Central Europe Rally'') since the ASO relocated the race to an all-Eastern Europe ruote in April because of terrorist attacks, and moved to South America from 2009.<ref>{{Cite web |title=O Dakar «abandonou» África em 2008.
