Roads (4 of 6)
The climate and the terrain of the Kingdom are inimical to road-building. Burning hot deserts and high mountain ranges, each pose different but equally challenging problems for contractors. Nowhere were these problems more intimidating than in the southwest of the Kingdom, where mountain ranges soar to 10,000 feet [3,000 m]. A series of viaducts has been built so that even the more inaccessible parts of the Kingdom in this region may now be reached by road.
