Three Mountain Passes







A tough one this week. 47C and three mountain passes to climb. We began at an oasis in
Bu aithah to finish by a cooling wadi in Khudayrah. The middle photo shows part of a falaj cut into the rock, perhaps 1000 years ago. it must have taken the villagers years to create, possibly using heating and cooling to fragment the rock in the first instance.
