3.11.2012: A Quad - Bike ride to the desert.
The prospect of coming a bit closer to the distant mountains makes the decision for taking part in a ride with a ...
... Quad. From the club, we are taken a few km with a small bus to the starting place.
First, the handling of the quads is practised, then we start ahortly after 3 p.m. The day ends with some clouds, not so uncommon in the desert at this time of the year, however rain is extremely unprobable.
No time for pictures during the ride, but we stop at a "bedouin village" (which apparently has been erected here only for the tourists) for a 20 minutes´ break.
Very basic einfachste barracks ...
... in a remote desert valley, ...
... that we have explored with the quad before.
Supply is to come ...
A short camel ride is included in the trip, but I don´t take part.

The camel seems discontented - it is roaring all the time.
Once more, the ...
... sun comes out ...
... immersing the whole desert valley ...
... in surreal orange red light.
... no, this is NOT Ayer´s rock!
The shadows are rather long now.
The sun begins ...
... to sink down ...
... behind the mountains.
