Most of the time Sakkara Country Club is a fairly quiet place where
Cairenes come to get away from the city smog, let their children have
riding lessons, and read or chat by the pool. The past few days it has
been undergoing a major transition to become an endurnance village in
the style of the UAE under the guidance of a team from Abu Dhabi.


The grass paddock where mares and foals used to graze or children  
would be
led on ponies has had pristine white trot out lanes erected for the
past two weeks. The vet gates are placed next to the wooden playground
with the sign warning that the equipment is only for children under
twelve, but no one is taking time to sit on the swings with tents for
the press and important visitors to be constructed. As the teams
arrive, the sounds of drills, spray painters and hammers are wafting on
the autumn breeze in place of birdcalls and horse chatter from the
stables, but the work looks good to be finished in time for the Monday
race.
