Hurghada has hosted a solar-powered-cars race held for the first time in Egypt with the participation of 16 teams. The race started at Soma Bay, south of Hurghada, leading to Ras Shuqair in Northern Hurghada before returning to Soma Bay. Reports have revealed that the postponement was due to the failure of customs procedures to release cars, which forced organisers to preliminarily cancel the event. The customs authority has provided its technical opinion regarding the mentioned cars. They have benefited from the temporary release system, which required the financial guarantee control to be enforced.
