Last month, Jackie Oasis met Mark Beaumont in Cairo at the beginning of his journey round the Cape and try to beat the world record. Incredibly, Mark arrived in Cape Town 41 days, 10 hours and 22 minutes after leaving Cairo, beating not only the world record, but breaking his own goal to complete the trip in 50 days.

We are really pleased to have helped Mark in the planning of parts of his journey that we made trips between Cairo and Cape for many years, following a similar way - but not as direct or fast

some stats Mark:

"I finished in 41 days 10 hours and 22 minutes, after cycling 6762 miles, spend 439 hours in the saddle, and climbing 10.355 feet across 8 countries. the previous world record was a little more than 59 days, but in truth, I was never the race everyone, he was always pushing my absolute best staff. in the last week by Botswana and South Africa, I threw caution to the wind, with an average of over 0 miles per day and riding up to 16 hours per day. the daily global average is 0 miles per day, which is difficult to go anywhere but through the roads and across the borders of Africa was amazing, by far the most difficult race of my life. "

(These statistics all be rechecked and verified by Guinness World Records)

Visit the Facebook page of Mark for some great photos, video clips and saddle comments.

Congratulations Mark on this amazing success

Our tour leader in Egypt Jenny gives us some comments from Dahab on how Egyptians feel about tourism recovery ...

"This photo was taken in Midan Tahrir ( from Tahrir square ) shortly after Mubarak had stepped down. It seems summarize the feeling all Egyptians wanting tourists to return to Egypt and feel welcome and safe here.

Get Mubarak to step down is just the first step for this country to freedom and democracy without tourism to support the economy, the process will be much harder and many people suffer now that their income has disappeared . Egyptians would like the world to see them as peaceful people and continue to travel here that the country is emerging from 30 years of military rule. We wait to see if in April, a traditional high season , sees the return of tourism and the confidence of international .

Now is a wonderful time to visit Egypt as the popular tourist sites are not crowded and you can enjoy great photo opportunities and queues shorter wait before the hordes return "
