Egypt 3 is the third level of the Egypt track featuring the buggy. Set in the same direction as Egypt 1, a new pathway is opened at the start of the track, guiding racers through a 1.5-mile stretch of rugged bumps and sharp bends.
This level marks the buggy's final appearance in Egypt, with Dakars taking over the next three levels. It is also the final race with AI Ahmed starting from the first position.

Race[]
Despite the challenges posed by the rugged 1.5-mile stretch, the AI opponents in Egypt 3 adopt an unexpectedly slower pace. The frontrunners don't exceed speeds of 105 mph in Lap 1 and decelerate even further to 78 mph in Lap 2. This renders Egypt 3 the slowest-paced race within the game, an intriguing contrast given its substantial length of 7.9 miles. Consequently, players who struggle with the bumpy stretch should find it effortless to regain lost ground over the remaining track.
Although winning the race might not be challenging for the player, the internal competition among the AI racers can offer an intriguing dynamic. The starting AI positions undergo a reshuffle within the rugged stretch, influenced by their respective driving abilities. For instance, Baptiste and Ivanov showcase adept maneuvering skills through the uneven terrain, positioning them as top contenders. Morgen, in contrast, struggles mightily on the bumpy stretch, yet his consistent high speeds throughout the remaining track can occasionally propel him into contention.
