As much as we enjoyed Al’Ula, we are now looking forward to more desert and less tourism, as some romantic and scenically fantastic destinations still lie ahead of us. First we drive through a lonely desert landscape and the road traffic has also decreased. We pass individual rock formations and the Naslaa Desert.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Naslaa Desert
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

At first, we are a little disappointed with the desert. It seems so untidy to us. Sand and small and medium-sized rock formations everywhere. What’s more, we don’t really know where to get in and we only have a rough idea of the direction. In any case, we let the air out of the tires and switch on the four-wheel drive, because the sand is soft and deep in places. We follow one of the many tracks in the sand, which we assume could lead us in the direction of the rock formations we are looking for. <\/p>\n

After a few kilometers, we find a spot that we like and where we want to stay for two nights. The choice of place also has to do with the fact that we can’t get up the sand dune on the other side, but don’t feel like letting any more air out of the tires. And to be honest, we haven’t driven on sand for a while now and want to avoid getting stuck in the sand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The sun is shining, but scattered patches of cloud pass over us. We are hardly disturbed. Once a local drives around us, another time someone drives past. Otherwise it’s totally quiet, which we really enjoy.
\nWe take photos of the landscape and some rock formations in the evening light. <\/p>\n
