Go to "Liwa Rest House" not Liwa Hotel, once in Liwa you will see the sings on the road leading to Liwa Rest House. then head straight south, you will see signs on the gatch road saying Moreeb Hill, it's around 20 Km.

OK Fouad - know Subkha. Lots of that in Saudi, however some is thin - easy to break through if you have a heavy vehicle.
thanks

No this one is different, the road to moreeb hill is man made sabkha, it's done with machinery and equipment, unbreakable, very hard.

Fouad, you are no fun...I repeat: go to Liwa Hotel (not resthouse) and hit the dunes straight south. I bet you that it is shorter then going around on the gatch...wanna bet ? now, off course, if you are driving a blazer you have no other choice than ghoing on a gatch road....
