Itinerary description
|
Incredible route through the desert of Qatrana. Take a lot of water since they are just over 36km through the desert and the temperature can exceed 40 degrees. We did it in June at 46 degrees! Also, there is no town on the road, there is absolutely nothing but sand and rocks and some ruined castle. As the name indicates, part of the route goes through a fun path that will make us test our ability with the bike. In some section we will have to climb with the bike on our back but that is part of this sport. If we go in spring we can enjoy, perhaps, a river that we will cross several times. Now it was absolutely dry except for some small puddles in shadowy areas and ditches of erosion itself. I recommend leaving in the cars a cold fridge with drinks for the end of the route, it will be a memorable moment. I have classified it as difficult because in summer it can be extremely hard because of the temperature and dangerous if it does not get enough water !!
