Walking
From the center of Al Batha, head towards the main road, King Faisal Road (طريق الملك فيصل). Walk north along this road. You will pass several shops and local eateries on your way, which can be an interesting experience. Continue walking until you reach the intersection where you see a large mosque on your right. This is a good landmark to know you’re close.

If walking is not preferred, you can take a local bus. Look for a bus stop near your location in Al Batha. Buses that head towards Ad Dirah will be your best option. Make sure to ask the bus driver or locals if the bus is going to the direction of King Faisal Road. The fare is usually around 2-5 SAR.
