Bike camping @ White Canyons Riyadh

Bike Campers goes White Canyons in Riyadh, KSA

One of the best trail can be found in the middle of the dessert of Riyadh where the area is surrounded by mountains and valleys. You have to pass through the border of Riyadh and Al Kharj through Jeddah Road to reach there.

There is no exact coordinate of where it is really located but the area can be driven for almost an hour from the city enter. From Camel Trail 1 Parking (https://goo.gl/maps/o8qBQaa1WrF2) it is more or less 10km if you will travel by car. But, if you like trekking or bike trailing it could be more but more fun as well. I have added in google map the location for White Canyons Entrance (https://goo.gl/maps/QVrcpq1Pz782) for easy access and it’s approximately 7.2km (30mins by car).

This time we did some adventure by camping along side of the white canyons. It was really great and fun to do knowing you are in the middle of the dessert and feeling free of anything.

It was really challenging for us since we are driving a sedan out of the trail (intended for 4x4 vehicles) how exciting, right?

Though it’s a rough road it didn’t stop us exploring the area and was able to camp in the middle of the dessert in between mountains.

Along the way we encountered other friendly campers (in 4x4’s) within the area. We were 5 persons in total with 2 bikes and a kite to enjoy.

After settling with our tent, we assembled the kite, started flying it and it serves as our land point. We had our lunch and enjoy the rest of the day as we get along with each other.

There will definitely more adventures and trail biking for 2019. See you again next time!
