This is a trail that follows agricultural roads between Beit Ur Al-Foqa and Beitunia near Ramallah. The majority of the trail is ride-able although there are some portions where it would be better to walk your bike.
We went on to discover the route one afternoon, but we got lost and spent sometime going into circles (Hence the name, in reference to wandering the desert) We ended up arriving home safely. The gpx file contains the cleaned version of the trail without the getting lost part so you should be safe with this.
Alternative to this route, near the end point there is a dirt road that passes by a spring Ein Jaryout which goes leads to the starting point of this track (on the other side of the paved road), This way you can have a single circular route. The area also falls between Palestinian villages so there is no risk of settler encounters.
