The Magic Road
Believe it or not … This road is a dirt track that lies on to your left when you hit the road from Taqha to Mirbat. The road leads to a short drive down a hill on an elevated dirt-trail. When you reach the base of the trail, you have to switch off your engine and put the gear into "neutral". Keep your foot on the brake lightly to "regulate" your speed when the anti-gravity thingy kicks in..!!!! Here's what happens: your vehicle instead of rolling down the slope begins to roll back UP hill.
