Sahara Race (Egypt) 2005
The Sahara Race 2005 took place around Farafra and Bahariya Oasis which contain some of the most stunning and unique landscapes in the entire Sahara Desert . In the late 1990s Bahariya made world news when one of the most spectacular discoveries of mummies was uncovered there. Competitors began the event in Farafra with hundreds of schoolchildren waving Egyptian flags. The stage was a tough one with temperatures hovering above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Several competitors from previous events had a difficult time managing the heat and had to withdraw. Stage 1 saw the highest dropout rate of any 4 Deserts event to date. Competitors who made it through Stage 1 were treated to spectacular white chalk formations that form the core of what Egyptians call the "White Desert ." Heat continued to be a factor throughout the event and staff officials decided to start each stage earlier and earlier - at one point the temperatures reached 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). Competitors traversed a sandy course with spectacular sand dunes and very colorful landscapes. A sand storm hit the third campsite and several competitor tents were blown over. Competitors on the 50-mile (80-kilometer) stage were treated to tea at a local village as well as springs were they could bathe. The final stage was a short sprint which started just outside the famous Giza Pyramids to finish at the base of the Sphinx. |
