Prayer Time
At The Wall of Death
BREAKING NEWS My 396th picture to be viewed over 1,000 times (June 2015). First uploaded March 2012.
This is the slip face of what I believe is one of the largest sand dunes in the Inland Sea area of Qatar. For many, it is known as the Wall of Death. Hundreds of locals risk their lives driving SUVs across the face of it. Apparently, the trick is to maintain a speed of at least 120kph to prevent the car from rolling sideways down the dune. However, as can be seen from a number of Youtube videos, this doesn't help them avoid the odd fatal collision with other drivers coming from another direction.
