Back on the Makkah Highway

We took a drive south in the direction of Jeddah looking for the popular Red Sand Dunes, but simply couldn’t find them with the sketchy directions we had. It turns out, we took a wrong turn so will try another weekend to find them. What we did go through was sort of scrubby landscape and not too picturesque.

These were rocks on one side of the highway. I don’t know if this is rock that has been cut through for the road or what, but I thought it was attractive in any case.
