Dear fellow Rotarians,

My name is Ahmad Elzoghby, a board member of the Rotary Club of Alexandria Cosmopolitan - District 2451 - Egypt".

On this new Rotary year, 2013-2014, please allow me to share with your respectful club our Rotary organized initiative: "CrossEgypt Challenge" that aims to promote tourism to Egypt as well as world understanding.

Cross Egypt Challenge is a series of cross-country endurance scooter rallies conducted throughout one of the most mysterious

countries in the world, Egypt. The series started in 2011 and the first season was a 9 days ride from the shores of theMediterranean Sea in the North of Egypt to the temple of Abu Simbel, on the southern borders of Egypt with a total distance of over1700 km.

The 2012 season witnessed a 2400 km route starting from Egypts famous capital and passing through the most exotic oases of theEgyptian western desert before ending the season in the worlds largest open air museum, the city of Luxor.

The 2013 season of Cross Egypt Challenge will start on November 8, 2013 and will last for 9 days. The successful series willinclude a fascinating and challenging route of 2400 km which will start from the Mediterranean city of Alexandria; pass by Egypt'scapital, Cairo, make stops at the Western Desert Oases of Bahareya, Farafra, Dakhla, and Kharga, then heads east towardsLuxor, Hurghada, and Sokhna before ending the journey in Cairo under the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Cross Egypt Challenge provides a very rewarding and challenging experience for participants from around the globe as it combinesthe best of adventure travel and extreme sports.

I invite your respectful Rotary club to take part and support our initiative by:

1. Share the news with your respectful members and invite interested Rotarians to ride in this seasons rally.

2. Sponsor a Rotaractor with a solid motorcycle riding experience to ride in this seasons rally (Participation fees per personis USD 1,500and covers all accommodation, meals, transportation, persmissions, gas, oil change, etc).

3. Spread the news out to your local community and local press to promote this Rotary initiatives, and the image of Rotaryworldwide - Please ask us for a press release and we will be glad to send it to you.
