Not only does it boast many facilities that make it the place to be for those who are escaping the city, but also an excellent destination for massive events, like Makadi Heights Rally’19.

On the third day, when the 300-km off-road rally took place, Makadi Heights Mall hosted the the grand closing ceremony, in which the winners of the third and final round of the championship were announced; Rahhala Total racing team won first place in the modified cars category rally, while Team Alpha’s Amr Younis came first in the unmodified 4×4 SUV cars category. In addition, the ceremony also boasted various entertainment performances, including a Poi Ball show, courtesy of Makadi Heights’ very own Heba Shokry.

Celebrating the town’s first sporting event, Fady Alphonse, CEO of Makadi Heights and Byoum, stated earlier that the event comes in line with the Red Sea governorate’s strategy to promote Hurghada as the destination for international sports events, which will, in turn, support the development of sports tourism in Egypt.
