Um Ishrin Sand Dune is ideal for sandboarding or just hiking to see a beautiful views of the desert. Sand is soft so many people prefer to wonder around with no shoes on. Next to the dune there is a small bedouin market where you can see some traditional products for sale.

Old Nabateen tax station. Legend has it that Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt and that makes it a must on the regular 4WD circuits of the area. Near the building is a Nabataean inscription that mentions the area’s ancient name of Iram. The remote location and uninterrupted view of the red sand dunes are the main attractions.

Khazali Canyon is a beautiful canyon full of old arabic and thamudic inscriptions. The geological formation of the Canyon formed over millennia from winter floods generating torrents of water that flow through the gorge and create deep basins. The first portion of Khazali canyon is filled with stone age inscriptions and is easy to stroll through. Further in, you reach a section that rapidly steps up into a series of basins and dry waterfalls.

After sunset we will drive you to our Wadi Rum Protected Area Camp, where you will try local dinner cooked on fire. After experiencing the desert during the night and seeing all the beautiful stars you will be taken to your private tent to stay overnight.
In the morning traditional breakfast will be provided for you and after that we will provide transport back to the village where our tour will finish.
