Yet another long, hard slog on the way to Al-Hofuf, a city nestled in the heart of a sprawling, lush oasis dotted with three million date palms. The terrain is a bit faster and easier to make up for the length of the special and the fact that it is the second half of a marathon stage. However, it is also filled with navigation puzzles. Any blunder in this regard will definitely come with a hefty price tag.
