[edit]Cars can go from T Point complex to Nadabet village proper as well as Zero Point. For Zero Point, ask for permission at the gate to Zero Point. The road to Zero Point is scenic. There are several installations and watchtowers along the way to watch salt marshes and flat lands with nothing to obstruct your view till the horizon.
