Thursday 7th February 2019 10:00 PM my friends & I started moving
from Al Yarmuk in Riyadh armed with excitement and took us roughly around 10
hours of land travel (only 6 hours & 37 mins as per Google map) with a
couple of stops and rest in gas stations along Route 4440.
* Get on Dammam Rd/Route 40/Route
80M from Al Sahaba Rd and Dammam Branch Rd
* Follow Makkah Al Mukarramah Rd/Route 40/Route 80M to Route 4440 in Makkah Province. Exit from Makkah Al Mukarramah Rd/Route 40/Route 80M
* Continue on Route 4440. Take Route 4174 to Wahba Crater Rd
* Follow Makkah Al Mukarramah Rd/Route 40/Route 80M to Route 4440 in Makkah Province. Exit from Makkah Al Mukarramah Rd/Route 40/Route 80M
* Continue on Route 4440. Take Route 4174 to Wahba Crater Rd
Upon reaching the site, my friends were astonished by the Al Wahba
Crater. I my self got too excited too as if I haven't been to the place 5 years
ago. The place surrounding the crater has changed a lot as there seems to be a
mini-great wall of China as pavements has been installed at the rim of the half
of the crater maybe to make sure that cars will not go beyond the perimeter or
maybe to ensure that no car or person will go straight to the crater itself.
Also, there is a marker now in the area along with the tourist center or
pavillion.
With its natural beauty, wonder and unknown origin, AL WAHBA CRATER is
indeed worth visiting!
