The third race of the FIM Cross Country World Championship for bikes and fourth round of the FIA World Cup for cars will run in Egypt across the desert from May 10 to 17, 2015.
The route is taking its definite shape with over 2.300 km in 5 legs, with 1.600 km of Selective Sections: a unique race among the world’s myths.
The start will be close to the historical site of El Alamein, on the Mediterranean Sea after two days of Administrative Checks and Sport Scrutineerings scheduled on 10-11/05 in a brand new stunning resort, ideal also for accompanying people.
The great novelty is the track with one central heart: the permanent bivouac is in Tibniya, Baharija Oasis, in order to make the logistics simple for the assistants as well as for the organization, no more long transfers every day.
