The route for the drive back can now be accessed on Google Maps at:

The Saudi visa has been issued BUT only allows 3 days to transit the country. This has led to a revision of the Saudi travel plan. I will now go straight to the Wabha Crater from Doha (744 Miles) and head to Aqaba (789 Miles) from there the following day. These are two mega drives on the first 2 days, but pale by comparison with the consequences of over staying in Saudi.
I am told it is a good idea to carry condoms in the desert protect things like mobile phones and camera lenses from sand damage. I think I will wait for the new brand that the Pope is going to lauch on his visit to the UK.
