Camel Trail #1, South of Riyadh – KSA

On the first weekend of the new year we took the Silver Camel out to find one of the ancient tracks up the Tuwaiq escarpment.  The guide book we have, Desert Treks from Riyadh, says that there are at least 4 tracks leading up that were made in ancient times to ease the movement of camels and traders east-west across the peninsula.  Of the 4, only trail 1 seems to be accessible at the moment, and only from the top.  The top of #1 also has stone pick nick tables and benches and there were a few scattered as we went down.  We opted to eat lunch in the shade of one of the trees at the bottom of the trail.
