Moon Mountain

If the above trips seem too much like hard work, then try Moon Mountain.  It is deceptively high but simple to climb and worth the effort for the view.  Take some shade and a picnic or barbecue to reward yourself after your exertions.  It is only 45 minutes drive from Jeddah but still gives you the feel that you’ve got away from it all and who knows, you might find yourself bitten by the exploring bug.  (Ignore oft-told, seldom witnessed stories of alternative biting such as camel spiders etc!)
