Deadly snakes, don’t go hiking on flip flops on those mountains. 10 years ago a buddy living in Dubai went hiking there (on flip flops) got bit by a snake, turned the entire leg black, hurt like crazy, used all anti venom in the Arabian peninsula (helicoptered in from all over) took a while, almost lost his leg, all good now.
