Quad Biking (Four Wheeling for U.S.) in the Arabian Desert

      I'll keep this nice and short. A few of us from the compound decided to go quad biking a couple of days ago at the edge of town. With the initial price at 60 Riyals for two hours (about 17 dollars), we expected it to be fairly easy to rent some bikes and enjoy the nice sunset (see photos below). However, since it was a national holiday we were getting prices anywhere from 50 - 150 Riyals per hour! After one hour of bargaining, we finally decided on one hour for 70 Riyals. This was after coming to a deal with another desert renter who must have been in a bad mood because, after we agreed on a price, he started asking for Saudi ID's.... Since most of us are new, we didn't have them yet. Anyways, it was fun and an experience I'll remember some time to come. Enjoy the videos.
