Program

This tour can be enjoyed on your arrival day with afternoon arrival - the recommended start time varies according to the season. Or you can take this tour after breakfast on your departure day - finishing around 12 noon. We give you directions for meeting up on booking.

Once you arrive you will come to my house (Sulieman) for some Bedouin tea and orientation.

During the tour you will visit the following sites:

• Lawrence Spring - Our first stop takes you to Abu Ainah a natural spring now named after Lawrence of Arabia. The spring water is still used for grazing animals. Look out for camels who arrive to help themselves (they are not wild they have owners). You can give your legs a work out and walk for about 20 minutes up the side of the mountain. Here you can see the spring’s source and enjoy excellent views across the valley. This spring is one of 4 springs in a row along the mountains here which used to be the only source of spring water for miles around. There are also inscriptions here on a massive 'cheese shaped' rock at the foot of the mountain.

• Khazali Canyon - Khazali is a dramatic mountain made up of a steep gnarly and crevassed red sandstone base topped with smoother rounded yellow sandstone. At Khazali you can visit and walk inside a dramatic canyon. Inscriptions can been seen on the canyon walls and you can see how water erosion has shaped the mountain. At the natural end of the canyon you may find a small pool with some hidden water. This is another reminder of the past and how local Bedouin used to rely on hidden rain water catchments like this one. This mountain has also played an important role providing shady spots even in the heat of summer when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. Look out for the old false fig tree entwined with a sandstone rock at the entrance to the canyon.

• Big Red Sand Dunes - At these huge sand dunes of red sand piled up against the mountain you can find your inner child again. By all means climb for the view. But don't forget to run, and jump on the way down. Fast fact: These dunes can be seen in the movie Tranformers Revenge of the Fallen. Although in the film the story goes that they are in Egypt.

• Anfisheyh Inscriptions - On the side of the Anfisheyh mountain you can see a range of Nabataean and Thamudic inscriptions carved into the rocks. They date back to the 4th century. Said to be located on the old camel caravan route through the area, these inscriptions were perhaps left to guide those traveling through. There are 20,000 inscriptions recorded within Wadi Rum (plus another 25,000 rock carvings) but the inscriptions at Anfisheyh are some of the most visible when it comes to location.

• Lawrence House - This is another example of sites named after Lawrence of Arabia. However, the house itself is much older and there is no evidence Lawrence came to this location. An archaeological site the ‘house’ itself is Nabataean and was probably a outpost used when the Nabataeans controlled trade routes between Petra and Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Pay attention to the large sandstone blocks, you can see they were cut by hand. Don't miss turning around for the views. It's no accident there's an outpost here.

• Um Frouth Arch - The highlight of many people's visit to Wadi Rum, this elegantly formed natural rock bridge can be climbed for those all important photo ops.

• Sunset - No trip to Wadi Rum would be complete without taking the time to sit, soak up the views and watch the sun set. Enjoy. This is only included with afternoon start time approximately 4 hours before sunset (varies according to season)

After the tour you will either return to the village for your onward journey. Or we will take you to Wadi Rum Sky Camp for your overnight stay in Wadi Rum.

*Time permitting in winter
