Where is the longest straight road in the world: not a single turn

It's not such an easy task to drive straight all the time and not turn anywhere. Sooner or later you'll get bored, then your attention will dull, and then you can fall asleep altogether.

However, such a road exists and bears the unofficial title of “the most boring” road in the world.

In Saudi Arabia there is a section of highway that is considered the straightest and most boring in the world.

Not because no one drives here or nothing happens, but because for 240 kilometers you just have to drive straight ahead without turning anywhere.

And there is not much to see on this stretch of road.

This is Highway 10, which connects the cities of Al Darb and Al Batha. The cities are located in the western and eastern parts respectively.

The road is quite busy, with active truck traffic.

And the aforementioned 240-kilometer straight section of road cuts through the Rub' al-Khali desert.

The road is a contender for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest and straightest road in the world.

Its second name, as already mentioned, is the most boring road.

There really are no turns here, and the entire journey is spent observing dull, flat, deserted and monotonous landscapes.

Only before the city of Al-Bata does the highway bend slightly.

It will take two hours to cover the straightest section of the road.
