The cool water runs down the mountains and into the troughs, surrounded by small trees and vibrant green moss that create a true oasis and views and the many inscriptions of Thamudic origin.You can relax here just like the Bedouins and their herds did in the past, while watching herds of camels pass by, eagerly seeking fresh water.

3

Discover the iconic Al Ramal Red Sand Dune in Wadi Rum, the most famous sand dune in the area with a unique red hue caused by high concentrations of iron oxide. While it may seem like a simple climb, the soft sand makes it challenging for tourists, but entertaining for the locals to watch. Once you reach the top, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the valley that will leave you in awe. For an unforgettable experience, run or sandboard your way back down.

4

Discover the hidden gem of Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum, where you can journey back in time to witness the traces of merchants and pilgrims who once traveled through the canyon on their way to Egypt, Damascus, and Mecca.

As you explore the canyon between split mountains, you'll be fascinated by the Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as the petroglyphs of humans, animals, and soles of feet. The canyon is also home to numerous Nabataean rock carvings of people and animals, including petroglyphs etched into the cave walls dating back to Thamudic times.

At the end of the canyon, you'll find several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection, adding to the impressive collection of petroglyphs and inscriptions that make Khazali Canyon one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum.

5

Little Rock Bridge : Experience the natural wonder of Little Bridge in the Khor El Ajram area, where years of severe weather have created a stunning rock formation. Despite its name, the bridge is not too high and easy to climb, making it accessible to families with children or those who prefer less challenging climbs. Take in the breathtaking views of the vast desert landscape and capture memorable photos before descending to relax in a Bedouin tent with a cup of sweet tea. Here, you can buy souvenirs or hang out with locals, making for an unforgettable cultural experience. So come and explore the easily accessible Little Bridge, perfect for all ages and comfort levels.

6

Um Frouth Rock Arch : a natural bridge offering breathtaking views and photo opportunities. With the help of your guide, take an impressive photo on top of the bridge using your phone or camera. Although challenging for tourists, small footholds have been created to make the ascent easier. Experience the thrill of climbing this magnificent structure and capture unforgettable photos of the stunning scenery. A must-visit for anyone exploring Wadi Rum and looking for a memorable adventure.

7

Lawrence's House - Lawrence's house plays an important role in the history of Wadi Rum. Nabateans laid the foundation for this place over 2000 years ago which was used as a stop for the passing caravans. Later it became known as Lawrence's house, because TE Lawrence, in the story "Lawrence of Arabia" was based here. When you reach the top after a short climb, you will be amazed by the countless piles of stones. In the past, the Bedouins used to stack stones as road markings. You can see far into the vast desert plain, which again makes for great photos.

Witness a small miracle of nature - the Mushroom Rock. Over centuries, wind and rain have carved this sandstone into the distinct shape of a mushroom. It's a fun place to take photos and seek shelter from the desert sun, used by Bedouins for centuries
