A day at Kathma

Place: Kathma desert (& farm).
Day: Thursday, March 15.
Time: 1 - 6 pm.





Arrival



Choosing the perfect spot



Getting down to business



Old school tea



Tools of the trade



SalamAlaikum baba (he wanted some food)



Done with the food & starting the journey



The swamp



On the other end



Sand fortress?!



You know what to do, mooch. :P



Heading to Kathma hills



Getting closer



And closer



Up the hill



Aliens land here I guess



People hanging out down hill



Careful not to fall



Another view



On the way back home



On the way back home x2



In the middle of nowhere



Winding road


End of day.
Next week: Wafra.

*goes to sleeeeep*

Yep, it's in Kuwait.
We had lunch then went on an adventurous trip around that place, that's all.
Thanks and will do. ;P



enigma:

kinan:
Thank you.
Yes, it's known as "Bar Kathma" or "Bar Al-Mi6la3". You should go there sometime. ;)



mooch:
Looks like he was tied to something and he managed to escape. Don't look at me, I'm no the one who did it! ;P

Here's the place via google earth. [link]



3baid:
It has always been that filthy, unfortunately. :/



kj:
I did, thank you. :D



elijah:
Allah e3afeech, thank you.

Yes, they are @ mi6la3 (aka kathma)

Sure, next week! :P



zed:
Make sure you have a decent 4x4 otherwise you won't make it. Have fun and keep us posted whenever you go there. ;)

Wow! Glad to know u had fun!1

Can u please give me the location of Kathma hills?? I have never even heard of it...It looks beautiful.

MacaholiQ8 said...

Thank you.

Kathma hills are also known as "Bar Al-Mi6la3".
They're located northern Jahra right after Al-Doha power station.

You can see the link I posted in reply for mooch.

MacaholiQ8 said...

We did, thank you. :)

Mathai said...

really cool ! we didnt have the opportunity to do any barbecuing, maybe next time. Did you guys use live ammunition or was that an air rifle ? :P

MacaholiQ8 said...

Oh don't even think of barbecuing in Kathma Farm... You'll get invaded by a swarm of flies! Maybe out in the open desert or over Mitla'a but not in the farm! :P

And that's an air rifle... A cheap one that it. ;)
