shaqra:
It is not that great town .. it is small .. the population is about 35'000. The name "Shagra" means "blonde" or "blondie" which is taken from "the blonde mountain" which is north of Shagra.
It is 190 KMs northwest to Riyadh .. the road to it is not bad. It is double lane from Riyadh to the town of Hurimla (85 KMs from Riyadh) .. and it is still double lane highyway for a few kilometers .. then it is one lane until about 10 KMs of Shagra. The gas stations are a few so be sure to fill in the tank and be careful of camels on the road.
Shagra's important because it is a good farms area that surrounds it from everywhere. And also, was strategically trading place with Yemen and Kuwait (and maybe some other countries/cities).
