Wadi Turbah

Wadi Turbah
I've absolutely no idea where Wadi Turbah is. I had the pleasure of only being a passenger for the majority of the journey, and we were following the other car, so I didn't even really need to know. We left on the Thursday, returning on the Friday so it wasn't too far.

The wadi lived up to its name. Bigger trees that I'd seen anywhere else in the kingdom, as well as a large expanse of water, surrounded and camels, goats, sheep and cattle. And confirmation of how much the locals hate dogs, with us finding a dead one strung up from a tree.

 

some of the biggest trees we saw in Saudi normally there aren't any but the water explains where Wadi Turbah gets its name camels in the hilltops
goats all around dead dogs and Americans, in the mid day sun pretty hungry looking cattle
scenery on the way home more scenery on the way home
