• Wadi Rum Village - The meeting point is at the Rest House in Wadi Rum Village, located on the right as you enter. It is close to a supermarket and a souvenir shop, with the office around the corner. Once all guests have arrived and met the guide, the jeep tour begins around 10:00 AM. • Lawrence Spring - This natural water source is beloved by camels due to its cool flowing water. Surrounded by small trees and vibrant green moss, it provides a tranquil oasis. Guests can relax here and watch herds of camels or hike up the mountain for stunning views and ancient Thamudic inscriptions. • Khazali Canyon - While it appears as an ordinary mountain from the outside, entering the canyon reveals historical paths of ancient merchants and pilgrims. Visitors can observe Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as petroglyphs of various forms. The canyon also features a series of basins at the rear. • Red Sand Dune - This well-known dune is recognized for its reddish hue due to iron oxide. Although it may seem easy to climb, the soft sand presents a challenge. At the summit, spectacular panoramic views of the valley await. Running or sandboarding down are popular descent methods. • Little Bridge - Formed through years of weathering, this natural bridge is a few meters high and easy to climb. It offers impressive views and is ideal for families or those not wishing to climb too high.

Guests can request their guide to capture photos of them on top. Local climbers navigate it effortlessly, but tourists may find it more challenging; therefore, small holes have been created to ease the ascent. • Morning tour: Canyon walk Sunset tour: Sunset viewpoint Canyon Walk in Abu Khashaba Canyon: A 30 to 45-minute walk in this narrow valley flanked by tall mountains.
