The applications and fees of Pharaons 2009 are finalized. Like last year, all Egyptian participants in all categories will enjoy very attractive rates specially for the early bookers. Pls find attached the applications with all the details inside. You will find also the new "accompanying people" formula which is tailored for those die-hard fans who want to follow the rally bivouac to bivouac. Of course, these are not assistants and any assistance given to racers by the accompanying people will unfortunetaly lead to the exclusion of the assisted racer.

Anyway, once decided, pls fill the relevant application and send it directly to the ever helpful costanza (costi@jvd.it) and copy to me. The total of your team fees (including any missing names) should be transfered to JVD account in Italy (account attached in application) before the 15th of July for early booking and before the 31st of August for late registration. Unfortuantely, no applications will be accepted after that date. If you are missing a few names in your team, pls send the applications with the names you do have, pay for the full team before your relevant deadline and complete the names by maximum 31st of August.

I hope we will have an impressive representation in this year's edition. Pls let me know if you have any questions and pls forward to all interested.
Best of luck and stay safe.

A short promo of the Egyptian team. They won 4th place overall last year and were on their way for a similar result this year until they had an accident the last day and were forced to withdraw from the race.

Pls check my latest adventure. I was honored to be part of that team and we made it. A little different from my beloved rallies but exciting nevertheless and we raised the flag on top. Enjoy and give us your feedback.
