Abstract: During a trip in the Qattara depression in north-western Egypt in November 1992, the author and an Egyptian colleague found on the last day of the trip a track that they were able to follow for 1.5 km and that they attributed to a cheetah. They considered this as a confirmation of an earlier sighting of an animal in the region.
