 The Camel Trail up the escarpment is winding and steep and may have been made in the ninth century AD. |
Ancient Camel TrailThe camel trails up the Tuwaiq escarpment in Saudi Arabia near Riyadh follow the natural water course and were reinforced with small man-made retaining walls. This camel trail was used to ease the way of camel caravans traveling east-west across the peninsula. The caravan would be carrying not only traders with their goods but also pilgrims headed toward Mecca. |
