The Wahba Crater
The Wahba Crater
The Wahba Crater is an enormous pre-historic hole in the ground! A fancier attempt at describing the 2km wide and 260m deep crater would be a waste of superlatives – you have to see it and have your breath taken away – first, by the sheer size of it and secondly by the climb down and back up again. As it is a 5½ hour drive you should plan a one night camping trip – again, an ideal spot is marked in ‘Desert Treks’. If you make it this far, why not add a mere 40km and explore the 19th Century Turkish Fort that King Abdul Aziz refurbished in the 1940s as a Hunting Lodge.
