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.

Cross Egypt Challenge Orginazation

The Cross Egypt Challenge so far has been a very professional operation.  This Email below is just one example of how organized everything is so far.  I have had some additional requests outside of the scope of the Challenge and they have been very kind in helping me in those areas.  I think it is going to be a great ride.

the organizers

Dear Cross Egypt Challenge rider,

Here is your airport pickup schedule from Cairo airport to the hotel. Each number means one pickup car. Some of you will be accompanied with other team members who arrive around the same time.

After going out of passport control, and as you walk outside the customs area, look for Cross Egypt Challenge representative/driver holding a sign with the "Cross Egypt Challenge" name. Our representative will have your name, and details and will drive you directly to the hotel where you are booked.
