Riyadh. You may not believe that the 149-mile (240 km) long road connecting the two cities is not curved in a single place. But in Saudi Arabia, a road connecting the two cities is 149 miles long and has no twists or turns anywhere. Saudi Arabia's highways are 10,916 miles (1,474 km) long. This road connects Al Darab in the southwest and Al Batha in the east. It is always a busy road. Cargo trucks keep moving. This road passing through the Rab al-Khali desert is famous as the road that is not paved even in one place for 149 miles. This road was built as a private road for King Fahd. But since the section of the public road, the name of this road has been written in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest straight road in the world.

Some people call it the most boring road in the world. This road is slightly curved in Al Batha. It is mentioned in the Guinness book that it takes about 2 hours to cross this road. Previously, the longest straight road in the world was in Australia. The distance of Air Highway is 91.1 miles. It is still the longest straight road in Australia.
