On the Road to Madeenah



The road from Riyadh to Madeenah normally takes about 9 hours.

The journey is again a beautiful reminder of Allaah's creation. The expanse of sky, mountains and deserts . The camels wandering by the fence tended by their shepherds. The bedouin tents dotted about the vast terrain.
