STAGE 3: MHAMID / OUED DRAA: 522.88 kms

Special stage: 462.70 kms

The AFRICA ECO RACE's usual special stage between Mhamid and Assa includes the first 20 kilometers in a magnificent landscape. Then it's on to the Erg de Chegaga via the Oued Draa tracks. Although this stretch of dunes is a classic of Moroccan rallies, the 40-kilometer east-west crossing of this sand block can be complex. After that, Lake Iriqui offers an opportunity to accelerate before returning to a traditional section. Despite the geographical constraints of Algeria on one side and a mountain range on the other, the reconnaissance team has introduced some new features to avoid the stony sections. The final section is fairly rolling, but requires careful navigation.
