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.

THOSE WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE

The Cross Egypt Challenge is not a easy thing to put together.  A team of more than 25 people volunteered to do it.  Here are a few of them.
Ahmed Elzoghby
president of the challenge who most often was seen with a phone in his ear solving problems




Mohamed Elsherbiny
Ahmed's cousin and captain of the ride and one of the originators of the ride

Mona Arisan and Christine Manoukian
our Nile queens

Karem Mishrki and Nagi 


"Thomas"  !!!!!
this is the name we learned first as every time something was needed or scooter problems he is the one they yelled for first.


Actually, there was a lot of running, but all the support staff.


There are many, many more and I apologize for not having the given names of some of these people, but without all of them this would have never happened, I thank you all.
