Hafr Al- Batin lies about halfway between Majma'ah and Kuwait City. While you are driving to Hafr, with just a little imagination, you can visualize a caravan trekking across the desert on the same old route. This sign mandates a 120 kilometer per hour speed limit. In the background you get the jist of how desolate this area can be.
The travelers across this land must've been so happy to get to Hafr in the olden days. This is a small portion the main souq or marketplace in Hafr Al-Batin. You can find anything you need to sustain yourself in the desert or city for that matter. Tents, pots, stoves, rugs, pillows, camel saddles (I have one in my living room I use for a foot stool), food, sacks of spices, shoes, clothing and gold. It's more fun than going to Riyadh.
