It is Sunday 5 January 2003 – the teams are in TUNIS and the fun and games are about to start.

Stage four



After a 36 hour Mediterranean sea cruise, competitors disembark at the port of Tunis early today.

After a welcome in the port and a procession through the capital, things take a serious turn with the first special in Africa.

The first part of the special stage is marked out on steep, twisting tracks, among hills and pine forests. Gradually, it becomes less twisty, wider and dusty, amidst valleys with a succession of fields. It allows plenty of scope for driving and is the shortest of the special stages in this 25th edition.

This is the special stage to get you into shape, finishing with a link up to the gateway to the desert.

Tozeur, continues a strong cultural tradition is the one of the most famous oases in the world, irrigated by 200 springs. It is home to a magnificent palm grove of more than 1.000 hectares (2.500 acres) that has over 400.000 date palms.
