Conquering the Great Hidden Valley of Saudi Arabia

Well, this is my second time to visit Hidden Valley (after long 5 years); the first time happened way back 2011, but sad to say, I did not able to blog the experience due to less eagerness in my part and not that much interested doing written documentation since all I wanted, being gullible in a world of heat and sand, (desert as it may pertains) was to see Hidden Valley and experience different activity other than working as an expatriate. So, when my friends decided to go for a trip, I did not hesitate to say YES, I think of, with this adventure, I will be able to replenish the memories, to finally write about Hidden Valley with my own blogsite and (maybe also for all OFW here in Saudi Arabia will be able to discover that Saudi is not just what you see is what it is.)
Hidden valley (expats term) or Wadi Nissa (Arabic Name) is located west side of Riyadh; travel time to reach this destination is about an hour from Riyadh City proper. It is composed of outstanding rock mountain formations and astonishing sand dunes. The attraction to climb the peaks of each rock mountains was one of the reasons why expats visited this place. Location: click for the location GPSMore visitors flocked to the area, establishing a huge interest of trekking or mountain climbing.
Saudi Arabia is a true paradise that is just being rediscovered.

Having spent our time eating breakfast, our group was eager to get to best picture before the sun heat scorch in our skin. 
Hidden Valley had a wide range of Table Mountains like the picture above.Just at the beginning of the prized via this magnificent view in Hidden Valley.

In this area, which you can see the full view of Hidden Valley, is unquestionably the most significant and most noteworthy section of this magnificent site. So a panoramic view is a must. Though it might come into sight as if the Rocky Mountains are being indistinguishable, a closer look reveals that they differ in their details. 

Hidden Valley boast immeasurable rock formations that brings so much life and emotions in one picture, so as a hobbyist photographer like me, I could not resist myself taking each and every step during our walk along the trail . Here are the pictures I clicked at Hidden Valley. Definitely will come back again and again.
