Dear all,

Lately, there has been increasing interest in the desert and desert activities which led me to believe that more can be done.

Last week, I finally got the approval from the Automobile club of Egypt to start the first (I think) Egyptian Rally school in order to guide interested individuals about this sport and increase their awareness with emphasis on safety and environment as well as performance and technique.

This will be in the form of one practical session held the first friday pf every month somewhere in the desert and one theoretical session held the last friday of every month in the automobile club headquarters. The first of these events will be the 7th of December where the already existing rally drivers will take their cars out for a training session and we will host an introduction for first timers as well. The complete details will be posted closer to the date.

This is not all as this should lead to a real mini-rally organized at the end of February only for Egyptians by Egyptians. It will have an advanced category and an amateur category to include the vast majority of enthusiasts. The regulations will be very simple and only relating to safety. The adventure will be exciting and fun.

I hope this is good news. You can start emailing me personally with your feedback and/or willingness to participate.

That's all folks (merry melodies)
