This is a difficult hike that requires a lot of skills and it includes lots of mountain climbing (no ropes needed). I highly recommend you take a lot of water with you (5-6 L).

Dhad al Arab - Biyātah - easy drive in a 4x2. You will however need a 4x4 if you go off the beaten track. Only technical aspect would be dodging the potholes. Wonder what the camping rules are?
