It links Riyadh and Al Qasim. This route is one of the few with a 140 km/h speed restriction. Feel the immersive experience while admiring the region's beautiful palm-tree-dense environment.

The highway is split into 3 traffic lanes with a margin on each side (for a total of eight lanes, six of which are traffic lanes) by a median strip. These junctions are all grade-separated, mostly cloverleaf interchanges, with some alternative interchange types used for U-turns or desert access roads.

The route, which runs across the Najd plateau and the Nafud desert, has no bridges or tunnels. The Saudi Ministry of Transport operates the route, which is not tolled.

Al Hada is a high-altitude town in Makkah Province, western Saudi Arabia, at an elevation of 1.975 m (6,479 ft) above sea level. This is the route that is certain to make people fall in love with Saudi road excursions.

Road 15 is the name of the road that leads to the peak. It's been graveled and is regarded as one of the most scenic and prominent mountain roads in the region. It unites Taif with the regions to the west and north, is an engineering wonder in and of itself. It takes on beautiful and appealing perspectives at nightfall. The route rises 6,500 feet in 21 kilometers and 93 curves, making it both breathtaking and magnificent.

Al Hada Road begins at the town of Kara and finishes in the village of Al-Hada, which is known for its lovely trees, flower gardens, and freshwater springs.

Did you know that the famous mediaeval traveler and scholar Leo Africanus (al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Wazan), who had traveled across most of North Africa, giving detailed accounts of what he had seen there, proposed in the early 1600s that the title "Africa" might have been derived from the Greek term "a-phrike," indicating "without cold" or "without horror."

North Kenya

The A2, popularly known as the "Great North Road," connects Nairobi and the rest of East Africa with Ethiopia.

The Great North Road

The route starts in Cape Town, South Africa, and concludes in Cairo, Egypt. It facilitates a variety of commercial transactions in the locations through which it travels.

Moyale

It accomplishes this by bypassing some of the most stunning and hostile areas of Kenya's northern half. The 507-kilometer journey from Isiolo to Moyale leads you through the Kaisuit Desert, across 1500m of volcanic mountains, the Dida Galgalu Desert, and the Shinil Plains before dropping back into the hill slopes surrounding Moyale, where the route enters Ethiopia.

Since the heat of the desert expanses is great, vehicles usually go at night. It is more convenient for drivers and passengers, and it also helps to decrease tyre blow-outs and punctures.

Poor quality tyres in severe heat and on the jagged igneous rock are a formula for constant tyre replacement.

So, before you plan a road trip, always remember a smart choice of good tyres and frequent tyre maintenance will make your journey enjoyable and hassle-free.
