It was a pleasant discovery - a kind of forest in the desert! Well, some decent greens and flowers to brighten up the image of the otherwise dry and dull brown deserts of Saudi.
Rawdat Khuraim, about 110 km away from Riyadh towards Ruma, is a lovely break from the monotonous desert views. It's a refreshing picnic location, if only we can get our picnickers to pick up their trash behind them it would be better. But isn't that something "oh yes, we know" statement!
You get to catch some camel farms and the occasional herd of camels in varied colours.
The basics:
- On Khurais Rd 50km, where you will see an exit for Ruma; take the left towards Ruma and the location is another 50 km from the exit.
- You need to carry some food to eat as nothing much is available there and there is driving to and from involved.
- There are no public toilets at an easy distance, so either empty out completely before leaving home or hold on most part of the day, whatever works for you!

A carpet of refreshing white flowers
Lovely shady areas to plonk and picnic
