sandsurf in desert,f

by Manyana

Desert covers Saudi Arabia for more than 75% of the land area. That's why, desert activities are quite various.
The most popular desert sport is 'tateez' or car sandsurfing; where a car racer with a big jeep would sandsurf with his car on sandy hills.
Another activity is individual sandsurfing where people use soft big tyres to roll and sail over sands.

- Jeep car
- surfing tyres
- protective glasses against sand
- boots to protect against desert bushes
