Amazing experience

A gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill (and sometimes a mystery hill or a gravity road), is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope. Thus, a car left out of gear will appear to be rolling uphill due to gravity.Last week i been in Saudi Arabia and i went one of this place which is near to Medina Munawra it was amazing experience when i switched off my car and kept in neutral gear and my car was running at 90 km per hour on road without start the engine.

in lebanon, (chekka toward nouriye monastery) a similar less inclined road leads to a monastery. on neutral mode, the car will slide downhill (which seems uphill) toward the monastery! people claimed miracle. the church inquisition team dismissed the phenomena as normal.

That is not an optical illusion but a gravity phenomena.

there is similar place in the south of syria, there it is a slope and when you pour water in the middle of it you can see the water climbing it instead of moving down.
