Part two of Arabia Mountain! AM is home to an endangered species of succulent called Diamorpha Smallii, also known as Elf Orpine. It’s bright red and blooms in the spring time before it totally dies off to survive the summer heat. Much of the plant was already pretty dry and crunch, but I was delighted to see some patches still in bloom.

I don't think I've really gushed enough about how glad I am to have my Canon back.

Okay!

So!

This is Mount Ararat! On the border between Armenia and Turkey. (Formerly part of western armenia)

This is Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia.

Don’t get them mixed up.

The hike yesterday was SO MUCH FUN! It went on longer than I was told it would, we hiked for 4 hours total and covered about 12km of ground. My legs feel like lead today but it was so worth it.

The views from the top of the mountain are incredible. This place is so different from what I'm used to. It's hot and dry, desolate and lifeless, dusty and... hot. Everything is always hot around here.

The bottom of the mountains are mostly sandstone, but as you get higher you hear the sound of the rocks under your feet change. On top it's some sort of volcanic rock that sounds like tiles and glass.

There are these structures on all the mountains here that have to be hundreds of years old. My boss told me that they were probably some sort of military outpost overlooking the town of Al Ula, and that would make sense because you can see everything from there.

Next week we're doing it again, but going for a harder and higher mountain in the area. I hope my legs have recovered by then lol.

Went to Arabia Mountain a few weeks ago. An easy hike until you get to the mountain itself, but aside from being steep, it’s still easy going. Lovely spot, just a bit ruined by the steady traffic going by.

It’s time for something new!

It’s time for

Movie Recommendation Mondays!

The first movie we recommend.

Wadjda

Written and Directed by Haifaa al-Mensour, a female Saudi director. A drama

Wadjda is just a 10 year old girl in Saudi Arabia who wants a bike. But it’s frowned upon by the community that a girl wants a bike.
