A beautiful sunset at Shaleem at the end of the day

I zeroed the trip meter when i left from Nimr Round About and after reaching Nimr round about, the trip meter reading was 437KM. The stops we made were only the ones in the picture shown. the whole trip is shown in the map as lime colors.we left base at 0830hrs and reached base at 1800hrs.

The road from Souqra to Shaleem is graded. wadi had made the road very bad, so if you dont like to take your 4x4 on real wadi roads, i advise you not going on that road. but the whole road is over the mountain so it really is a pleasent drive.

from Shaleem back to Nimr-Marmul main road is metal again, but we were short on time so we took a short cut from Shaleem to Amal then from Amal to nimr. Shaleem to Amal again is a graded road but in much better condition.

Other than those two, the whole route is metal and good road condition.

I will always remember this trip, one of the best trips of my life!!!
