Young riders cycle about 500 km from Cairo to El Gouna, from the Nile to the Red Sea, The tour raises awareness for the environment and shows young people how far motivation and self-confidence can take them.
We start at the German Evangelical School in Cairo, ride through the New Capital to Ain Sokhna and then south along the coast of the Gulf of Suez to El Gouna. Departure is at 09:00 every day.
Distances are approximate.
The tour starts with a ceremony at the German Evangelical School Cairo (DEO), where the founder of TOUR DE COP went to school. Students, ambassadors and guests send the riders off together.
TOUR DE COP is not a race. It is a community ride that brings young people together with schools, universities, embassies and companies.

Every edition has its own message. In 2026 it says what the tour is about: young people can go much further than they think, without going beyond the limits of nature.
TOUR DE COP started in 2022, when we cycled from Cairo to COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh. Since then the tour has travelled to a new country almost every year, always with young riders and always for nature.
