Afternoon
We arrived at Wadi Nar as there was a change of guard.?Initially, there was a slight build up of traffic in both directions, but it quickly let up .  After a few moments, apparently as part of an exercise, the soldiers were told to stop a large truck that was coming through and behave as if something had been detected on it. The soldiers went through the motions and this quickly led to a rather large line forming.  However, the whole exercise took about 10 minutes in all and traffic was then quickly waved through.

It was very hot -- around 31 degrees-- and the soldiers appeared to be in no mood to be out more than necessary in the burning sun.
