Off 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.

More outdoor living in Bedouin tents in this stark landscape.

Interesting conical (almost) shape and stratified slopes. V

I looooove getting lost, that's when you find the most interesting stuff. Might not be too picturesque to you, but sure is for most of us!

You did manage to find this mountain! Nicely captured, Helen...
