On the morning of November 10th at 6:35 am, Egyptian adventurer Hesham Nessim has traversed a distance of 1,280 kilometers in a Land Rover LR4 in three stages. The first stage was represented in crossing the Great Sands Sea, followed by the open desert and reaching the final stage in crossing the mountains and rocks area. The crossing was achieved in 13 hours and 54 minutes at a speed between 110 - 120 kms per hour.
The Guinness World Records has elected this day for the event to coincide with the GWR Day Celebrations that take place annually during the month of November. The crossing of the Egyptian Western Desert is one of the greatest world achievements being recorded in addition to being the first time that an Egyptian or an Arab would break the record twice in one year in the Guinness World Record.
The Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority has sponsored the event in significance to its strategy to highlight the natural beauty of the Western Desert, as well as promote Desert Tourism product. To prepare for this adventure, Hesham Nessim has made three discovery trials in preparation for the Fastest Vehicle Crossing the Egyptian Western Desert adventure in cooperation with the Land Rover Car Company that provided Hesham with an LR4 car. The Land Rover LR4 is comprised of a Turbo Diesel motor that comes with a 245 hp and 600 Newton Meter in addition to using direct injection V-6 in the capacity of 300 liters. The LR4 also includes a double overhead cam, brake assist system, electronic traction control, cornering brake control, terrain response offering a sand launch control and hill descent control and front fog lights.
