    Deeper and deeper into the sand

    March 19, 2023 in Saudi Arabia

    We are driving deeper and deeper into the sand and break the record at one hill where everyone digs themselves in. After hours of digging and using sand tracks to get out, some of us promptly get stuck again. What a day!
    Finally, we arrive at a rock in the desert next to a small, fast disappearing perennial lake carrying the water of the last rain.
    While walking around the rocks, we make a huge discovery, rock engravings depicting desert Orynx antilopes, lions, and hunting scenes.
    WOW!
