Carrying on from previous posts of mine of my experiences in Saudi Arabia.

I went to the Oroug Bani M’aradh Wildlife Sanctuary on 28 February 2009, travelling along with some other expats. The sanctuary is in what is regarded as the “Empty Quarter”, because of the emptiness and extreme isolated area. It always pays to travel with others in case there is problems with vehicles or any other problem.

This is my review and some of my photos. I’ve always enjoyed early mornings (waking at 4am every morning) which was a great time to take photos.

Thanks for comment @AbdullahAM and pleased to know you visited Saudi Arabia. Did you go for Hajj? I visited Jeddah several times to go diving in the Red Sea which was fabulous.
