Yesterday we finally saw the Arabia desert like we thought it was before moving here. Funnily enough, most of the desert around Riyadh is rocky, made of lots of little pebbles and rocks of all sizes. We’ve found plenty of seashells fossils as well! One of the reasons I believe is that Riyadh sits on a plateau and was at the bottom of the oceans thousands of years ago.
So, yesterday, we went on our desert walk to a spot about 70 kilometers from Riyadh, well known from the local as well as the expat communities.
With the weather being nice, loads of families had decided to spend the day in the desert, bringing along the 4-wheelers, the kites, dune surf gear and 4-wheel drive vehicles.
The place was so peaceful and truly was magnificent. I bet you’d rather see the pictures instead of reading about it…so enjoy!
