Cross Egypt Challenge is a series of endurance scooter rides aiming to promote tourism, alternative sports, and alternative means of transportations in Egypt.

I was accepted a ride for this years Challenge. I am honored and thrilled at this opportunity.

The 2012 season of Cross Egypt Challenge will start from Egypt's capital and the home of the famous Tahrir square, then heads north to the cosmopolitan city of Alexandria at the shores of the Mediterranean before heading west towards the city of Marsa Matrouh. The challenge will then heads down towards the fascinating Sahara desert where the challenge team will ride between Egypt's 5 famous oases, Siwa, Bahareya, Farafra, Dakhla and Kharga before reaching the legendary city of Luxor; the world largest open-air museum, where they will ride down the avenue of the sphinxes to end their long and tiring journey in front of the magnificent temple of Karnak.

I read about the Cross Egypt Challenge in 2011 and thought it to be a wonderful adventure.  I sent them email and asked to be notified if there was a future Challenge.  In June I received an email asking me to apply for one of the 30 riders positions for the 2012.  I was extremely excited when in July I received an email informing that I had been accepted as a rider.

I look forward to telling you all about the ride in text and pictures when it begins in October. Click Cross Egypt Challenge
