You will begin on camel and visit:
Lawrence's Spring is one of the major springs in the area and still in use today to water the Bedouins' goats and camels. If you climb up to the spring you can sit under a fig tree and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground can marvel at old Nabatean rock inscriptions that resemble an ancient alphabet.
You will then continue by Jeep and visit:
Khazali Canyon: This canyon was used traditionally to rest in the shade, especially in the hot summer. You can easily imagine how it would have looked with Bedouin tents, families resting, drinking tea, and children playing. You will also find, on the canyon walls, many ancient rock inscriptions.
The red sand dunes are fairly easy to scramble around, although climbing up is tough going. You will, however, be rewarded with a stunning view of the varying colors of the sand. Afterwards, you can run(or roll) down the slope - whichever way you prefer to descend! Have fun and enjoy this 'adult' playground.
Only a little way further we will visit the Anfashieh inscriptions, which are at least 2000yrs old. These ancient rock drawings depict camel riders and huntsmen. Another ancient sight is Lawrence's House, which is actually an old Nabatean temple. In contrast to Petra , however, this temple was not hewn out of the rock, but built with bricks. This is a very remote location and - except during low season - you will be able to glimpse the loneliness of the deep desert.
After a break for a picnic, we continue on to Umm Fruth rock bridge. This is your chance to climb one of these stunning and fully natural rock formations. Climbing is ar your own risk(some parts can be quite steep) but as it is sandstone, most people don't have any problems and greatly enjoy the experience.
After another short drive we reach the camp, and you may use your time as you prefer - maybe to climb the surrounding rocks, or go hiking. As the camp is located on the edge of the wilderness zone, this is a great opportunity to go for a stroll in the almost untouched desert landscape. The area around camp is also one of the major sunset sights in Wadi Rum, and you can enjoy this over a glass of hot sage tea.
Having eaten a traditional dinner, you can then experience the desert by night. Around the time of the full moon, you can see all the surroundings painted in surreal colours, and the moon shines brightly enough to walk around camp without a flashlight (it's even bright enough for you to cast a shadow!). If there is no moon, the starry night sky is filled with sparkling constellations, such as the Milky Way, and often up to dozens of shooting stars. Some nights you can listen to traditional Bedouin music, and (temperature permitting) you can even take a mattress and blanket and sleep outside amidst nothing but rolling sands, silence, and the stars above.
