Egypt presents an off-road track across a sandy, ancient landscape, designed for the performance of buggies and Dakar vehicles. Serving as the home track for Team Ahmed, it hosts the fifth race in Season mode.

1997 Manual Description[]

An ancient, dune-filled course, Egypt's snake-like turns test even the bravest racers. Here, you will compete in either dune Buggies or Dakar vehicles, as their forgiving suspensions and tight turn radiuses make them well-suited for these tracks. As you kick up Pharoah dust in the Valley of the Kings, beware of the Sphinx's penetrating gaze, collapsed wooden bridges, and the looming presence of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

Overview[]

Egypt's track stretches across a sandy terrain, covering a seven-mile lap distance. Buggies and Dakars are used in this hot and arid locale, where sunny and sunset races are the norm. Throughout the series, racers are introduced a wide range of obstacles, from wooden ramps to a lengthy section characterized by rugged bumps and sharp bends. In the final stages, barriers at the Valley of the Kings are removed, introducing the possibility of vehicles plunging into the water below.

Below is a list of all the levels featured on the Egypt track, along with the available game modes for each one.
