Jubail to Dubai

Ready to roll!!!

Quick stop at the salt mine (access road)

Jubail - Dammam highway through the Sabkha

Eroded rocks

The looong road

Keeping left, 200 km to the next gas station

Camels on the road

Farmers lined up for camel gourmet food

Sheep market

Camel farm along the road

Baby camels sheltering from the sun (48C)

Mommy's finest

The farmers (real Indians)

Baby''s savouring the gourmet food

Railroad in Saudi?

Tony, look; 120 kph! Simple display on the GPS: straight line...

Approaching the oasis town Hofuf

Rocks with cave dwellings near Hofuf

Going the same way, old style...

More straight road...

Bulldozer every few km to keep the road clear

More mud impregnated cars

Dense fog, here?? (actually, yes, this happens..)

Scenery

Fata morgana

Beware of the camels!

KSA - UAE border

UAE!!

And this is why you put mud on the car; Sandblast hazard!

  1. Toch kamelen! En ook verkeersborden. Had ik niet verwacht. Ik zal even een link plaatsen op mijn fb page en even twitteren over jullie. Hopelijk stromen de sponsors dan binnen.
