Pan Arab Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pan Arab Games are a regional multi-sport event held between nations from the Arab world. The first Games were held in 1953 in Alexandria, Egypt. Intended to be held every four years since, political turmoil as well as financial difficulties has made the event an unstable one. Women were first allowed to compete in 1985. The games will be held in Egypt in 2007 or 2008.
