2. Lawrence's Spring

   Lawrence Spring This natural water source, with cool water flowing down the mountains into the troughs, is a favorite spot for camels! With small trees and nearly fluorescent green moss, it’s a true oasis. Relax here just as the Bedouins and their herds once did, and watch herds of camels pass by in search of fresh water. Or climb the mountain to enjoy spectacular views and discover many Thamudic inscriptions.

3. Jebel Khazali

   Khazali Canyon From the outside, it may look like an ordinary mountain, but stepping into the canyon between the split rocks is like traveling back in time. Discover the traces of merchants who journeyed with their caravans from Egypt to Damascus, and of pilgrims passing through on their way to Mecca. Admire the fascinating Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, along with petroglyphs of humans, animals, and even footprints. At the far end, you’ll find a series of natural basins, adding to the canyon’s charm.

4. Red Sand Dune - Al Ramal

   Red Sand Dune This is the most famous sand dune in Wadi Rum! It owes its red color to a high concentration of iron oxide. It seems like a simple climb, but the sand is soft and difficult to walk on, which can make it challenging for tourists to climb, but very entertaining for the locals to watch. At the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. The best way to get down is running or sandboarding.

5. Little Bridge Through years of various severe weather influences, this natural Little Bridge has been formed on a rock formation in the Khor El Ajram area. It is called Little Bridge because it’s only a few meters high and easy to climb, but the views are stunning and on pictures it looks pretty big and impressive. It’s perfect for families with children, and those who don’t want to climb too high. When you come down again, a cup of sweet tea awaits you in the Bedouin tent where you can buy souvenirs or relax and hang out with locals.

6. Wadi Rum Protected Area

   White Desert Wadi Rum is known for the red sand where most of the highlights of the tour are, but further south the area changes into the white desert. It seems as if you have entered a completely different world. This area is not yet heavily visited by tourists, so there is much more flora to discover and a better chance to spot wildlife. It’s very special to stand in the white sand and see the transition to the red part in the distance. You can also notice a difference in the landscape, the rock formations and even the sand itself.

While we are cooking, you can explore the area with a hike or just sit down and relax while you enjoy the Wadi Rum landscape.

8. Lawrence's House

   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.

9. Mushroom Rock in Wadi Rum there are many famous rock formations, known for its unusual and sometimes even funny shape. The Mushroom shaped rock owes its shape to years of erosion, with the lower part wearing out faster than the upper part. Mushroom Rock is fun place to take nice pictures and find some shelter. Bedouins used rock formations like this to seek shelter, after walking in the hot desert for hours.

11. Abu Khashaba Canyon Stretch your legs and enjoy a nice walk in this deep narrow valley, surrounded by tall mountain walls. There’s a lot of green, which makes a beautiful contrast with the red desert sand. You will see many different types of trees and plants, and hear countless birds chirping. The locals have hung bottles to collect the rainwater so that the birds can drink from it. It is a real oasis of peace. The walk takes 30 to 45 minutes, and your guide will pick you up on the other side.
