The ‘Sea Camp’ from the inside: special bivouac for the start of the test

Date:

This year, instead of the competitors of Dakar and everyone stays in hotels in the days before the race, the organization brings together all the members of the caravan in one space, one time and yanbuOn the banks of red sea. It’s about’Sea Camp‘ (Sea Camp). It is a special bivouac, with more amenities and even recreational areas so that the competitors and the other people inside the camp can disconnect a little in the days before the appointment and also in the prologue stage and stage 1. After this, the caravan of Dakar begins his journey until he ends on the other side of the country, in Persian Gulf.

Since this is a special training camp, it is ‘Sea Camp‘ features elements not found in other bivouacs. There is a phone shop so the 3,000 people in the camp can buy their cards sim and the ability to communicate at a good price through their phones, as well as having unlimited access to the Internet (for about 60 euros). There is also a barbershop, laundry, official store and a very popular after-dinner play area, with a games room with ping-pong table, billiards, table football, video games, baskets and official video games of Dakar with a simulator. There is also a volleyball field and a soccer field or a small circuit to drive radio control cars.

Besides these novelties, which are no longer in the following camps, the ‘Sea Camp‘ has everything that is common in a bivouac. The dining room, which every day offers lunch, lunch and dinner to more than 3,000 people, at any time. The bivouac is divided by a central lane, the main street, where these days you can see cars going to the technical and administrative check areas before the race. That middle lane serves as a reference to not get lost in a camp that feels like a small city. Other small dirt or sand streets branch off from this avenue where the teams are located with their cars, caravans and/or tents.

Throughout the bivouac there are also several areas with toilets and showers and, new for this camp, several sleeping cabins for the organizers. The press had to sleep in tents right next to those cabins, under the light of the stars, when the high temperatures of the day dropped dramatically.
