Itinerary
Nabatean Temple in Wadi Rum dedicated to the Goddess Allat, with a palatial residence and luxury bath complex nearby.
The Spring is at the top of a short scramble - head to the Fig Tree. It is located 2 km southwest of Wadi Rum village. The spring is named in honor of Lawrence's evocative description in The Seven Pillars of Wisdom: "in front of us a path, pale with use, zigzagged up the cliff-plinth... Among the trees, in the hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries, the echoes, turned into music, of the Arabs watering the camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above the ground." Although the pool itself is largely unimpressive, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly stunning.
Among the vast expanses of rust-coloured sand in the Wadi Rum desert, the RED SAND DUNE, or “Al Hasany” in Arabic, is the most famous one. Officially named "Al Ramal", it has become better known by its descriptive name. It stands out against a cliff side, as if it was part of the mountain. Coloured red by the presence of iron oxide, this dune is smooth and soft underfoot making it perfect to walk up barefoot!
Khazali Canyon is the site of the petroglyphs etched into the caves walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the Thamudic era. This narrow valley contains many Nabataean rock carvings of humans and animals. Jebel Khazali, a peak located in the middle of the Wadi Rum Reserve opens up into a narrow crevice about 100 meters long. Its inner walls are covered with Thamudic, Nabataean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as rock carvings depicting humans and animals. Remarkable are the soles of feet petroglyphs, which might have had religious significance.

It was a very good experience in a limited time, more than enough to feel local people way of life. Tour guide is very hospitable and also flexible to arrange the tour based on your expectations so before the tour you should contact him to arrange the details.
We truly enjoyed this tour. Amazing experience. The tour guide maintained great communication with our family all the time.
I had an excellent time. As a solo female traveler it was nice to feel safe the whole time. I was given as much or as little time as I wanted at each stop. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you are short on time and want to hit the highlights and still feel like you saw Wadi Rum!
The trip was very exciting and had a lot to offer in only two hours! The guide is also very friendly and hospitable by trying to take care of all your needs/requests. Overall, a very great experience!
very friendly and knowledgeable guide. got a small taste of wadi rum, which left us wanting to stay for days! great trip
This is a perfect 2 hours. I had limited time but the brilliant Awwad made it worthwhile. Great English, so knowledgeable so much so the other guides were taking notes. A gentle and fascinating Jeep ride through the red desert, canyon, dunes, even a little tea with the bedouins ..just magic!
Thank you and I hope to see you again. Best regards
Niesamowite miejsce! Niesamowity czas. Fantastyczni ludzie. Właściciel Awwad jest niesamowitą osobą. Dbał o całą naszą rodzinę w sposób niebywały. Kucharz Mitab przygotowywał fantastyczne posiłki. Moi mali synowie zapamietają na pewno ten pobyt do końca życia. Polecam z całych sił. Amazing place! Amazing time. Fantastic people. The owner Awwad is an amazing person. He took care of our entire family in an incredible way. Mitab the chef prepared fantastic meals. My little sons will definitely remember this stay for the rest of their lives. I recommend with all my strength.
