About the adventure:
We start our adventure in the meeting point in Dhahran and then we will head to the mountains.
The Red Mountain is located between Buqayq and Hufuf in Shedgum Escarpment known internationally for its richness in fossil fuels. Because of the difficulty of reaching the Red Mountain the area is still pristine and largely unknown. The mountain invites everyone to come and observe and explore its beauty.
After our hike we will enjoy sunset views from the desert followed by a meal under moonlight before we go back to our meeting point in Dhahran.
