BREATHTAKING DESERT CANYON
This is Wadi Disah in Saudi Arabia, located in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia. Another off-road paradise in a natural oasis we discovered in this beautiful country. Set against the backdrop of the Harrat Al-Raha mountains, Wadi Al Disah looks like something straight out of a dream – and it's so incredibly good! If you've been following our journey, you probably know by now—we’re absolutely obsessed with landscapes like this. The raw, untouched beauty delivers a rush of pure joy every time!
Jungle vibes in full force—driving through the river and towering grass, with no clue what lay ahead, made every moment feel like an adventure. Excitement level 100.
Soft sand and shallow water crossings. Not technical off-roading, but a high excitement experience for us.
We had to pause a few times — not because we had to, but because the landscape demanded our full attention.
What is this place? Where are we? This place doesn’t even feel real. But you can see the beauty of it.
Squeezing through three meter high reeds and grass.
Felt like an Indiana Jones adventure on wheels — absolutely loved driving through this terrain.
The drive to Wadi Disha begins on paved roads, but as you enter the wadi, the landscape quickly changes, no more asphalt but towering sandstone cliffs on both sides, creating a canyon-like passage that feels ancient and untouched. The track becomes more rugged — a mix of dirt, soft sand, and shallow water crossings. Wow, wow, wow! Within few minutes we realized, this is an OFF-ROAD paradise.
Carved between towering sandstone cliffs, the valley is filled with palm groves, flowing springs, and lush greenery — a surreal contrast to the surrounding desert like landscape.
OF COURSE WE HAD
TO HIKE THE LIME STONE CLIFFS
Views.
More views.
Just like wow.
Couldn’t get to the top, but it was still quite high.
Stéphanie managed the hight well, it’s a good therapy to get rid of the fear.
BE LIKE A
PALM TREE
PIZZA NIGHT WITH FRIENDS
Again we met our Dutch friends Sandra and Albert, again we camped together and enjoyed being in the wild. Such good times. A perfect camp-set up, most beautiful people and a home made pizza party. Couldn't get any better. Albert is a REAL GOOD chef, he even brought his own pasta machine and a pizza oven on the trip. How passionate about cooking you must be. The pizzas were damn good, the only thing that was missing was a good bottle of wine. What we got from a supermarket was a nonalcoholic wine and sparkling wine – absolutely useless – but we tried 🙂
Parked between the palm trees – loved the vibe.
Evenings were quite chill, it gets cold in winter in Saudi too.
Albert is getting the pizzas ready.
Cosy nights and camp vibes.
Alcohol free sparkling wine is A REAL NO GO.
TEA TIME
THE ARABIC WAY
We got invited by these friendly guys for tea, arabic coffee and dates.
Endless refills and dates.
Arabic Coffee (Qahwa): Lightly roasted and flavored with cardamom or saffron, served in small handleless cups.
A shepherd and his crew crossed the valley.
Having fun with strangers that became real friends.
Sandra is enjoying it.
The end of the valley is fading into a desert.
