A wonderful day. A tour through the rock formations of Hisma desert followed by a thrilling off road bash up the high dunes to a viewpoint. We saw many animals on our tour through the nature reserve. A delicious home cooked lunch in a secluded canyon with a surprise at the end! Back to the Hisma dunes for sunset at the highest point reached by any of the other vehicles. Delighted to be invited for coffee with some local Saudis. Back to Tabuk with Ahmed helping us with some essential shopping. Ahmed was a thoughtful and convivial host. Lots of information and laughs. Thoroughly recommended.
