Lawrence's Spring
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.
30 minutesWadi Rum Protected Area
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!
1 hourJebel Khazali
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.
1 hourWadi Rum Protected Area
LITTLE ROCK BRIDGE - Easy to climb, the Little Rock Bridge offers great views across a wide expanse of desert. Accessible and non-hazardous, it's perfect for families with children and people who feel less comfortable with heights under their feet.
30 minutesLawrence's House
Nobody is certain this was Lawrence's home, although there are stories that he resided and/or stored weapons here. However, the current structure is built upon the ruins of a Nabataean building, which is another beautiful spot in the desert. There is little left of this building, which was erected on the Nabataean ruins of a water reservoir. Nonetheless, legend has it that Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt and that's what makes it a must on the regular 4x4 circuits of the area. Near the building is a Nabataean inscription which mentions the area's ancient name, Iram. The remote location and uninterrupted view of the red sand dunes are the main attractions.
30 minutesWadi Rum Protected Area
MUSHROOM ROCK - Sometimes nature performs small miracles. One of them is Mushroom Rock. Over the centuries, rain and wind have sculpted this sandstone and given it the shape of mushrooms.
30 minutesWadi Rum Protected Area
BURDAH ROCK BRIDGE - The largest of Rum's three arches is the Burdah Rock Bridge, perched precariously about 80 meters above the surrounding rocks. There is a precipitous hike to the summit. Its height and location offer one of the most terrific sunsets you will ever experience.
