What you'll see and do

1. Lawrence's Spring

   Lawrence Springs - Located in a red rocky desert gained popularity due to its mention by T.E. Lawrence in his renowned work, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." Traditional as of today, our camels love to drink from this natural spring, which flows down the mountains into the valleys. An oasis with its dwarf trees and verdant moss that shimmers almost like fluorescent light. Alternately, you could walk and hike up the mountain to witness the breathtaking scenery and numerous Thamudic inscriptions.

It offers the opportunity for a strenuous workout while climbing up, and even more enjoyment when running down. One of the most renowned sand dunes in Wadi Rum!

5. Lawrence's House

   Lawrence’s house - A stone structure from the Nabatean period that serves as the residence of T. E. Lawrence, more commonly referred to as Lawrence of Arabia, is renowned for two reasons: the period of time he spent there throughout World War I, and the evocative descriptions found in his renowned work, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. After a short ascent to the top, you will reach the peak, where you will be astounded by the seemingly endless piles of stones. The Bedouins had a practice of using stone stacks as road markers in their day. Another perk is the expansive view of the desert plain that you can capture in your photographs. Our guide will locate a pleasant shady location for the lunch break, where we will eat and sip tea.

Years of erosion have worn away the upper portion of the Musroom-shaped rock faster than the lower, giving the rock its distinctive shape. Mushroom Rock is a great spot to get some great photos and even find a little refuge from the sun.
