Champions by the Pyramids
Few sports can offer a backdrop to compare with the Great Pyramids of Egypt, and what better place to be crowned a Champion, even better a World Champion …
The Al Ahram Championship was been staged in Giza several times at the turn of last century, the Men’s World Champs held there in 2006, and it was 2016 when squash was last played alongside the Pyramids.
