11-Dec-2019 -- This is the second out of 21 successful revisits and 2 unsuccessful attempts on unvisited confluences in Saudi Arabia. The story continues from 28°N 48°E.

This confluence point is 2.3 km from highway 550 near the village Al 'Adhiriyah. We parked our car at the nearest distance of 2.3 km and walked to the confluence point.

Again, we were confronted with barking dogs. And again we made big circles around them. This time, the dogs belonged to Bedouin families. An again, the desert was not an empty place: Jeeps were passing by with high speeds, a shepherd was walking by wit his herd. Here and there were houses and tents.

However, the confluence lay behind some hills in a quiet place. The only feature at the confluence point was a camel fold yard.

We returned the same way back to the confluence point and continued our first lag to the city of Hafar Al-Batin.
