The cool water flows down the mountains into troughs, surrounded by greenery that creates an oasis. Visitors can relax here, reminiscent of how Bedouins and their herds once did, while observing camels seeking water. • Al Ramal Red Sand Dune - Known as the most notable sand dune in the region due to its reddish color from iron oxide, this location offers a fun and challenging climb through soft sand. The ascent rewards climbers with sweeping views of the surrounding valley. For added enjoyment, options include running or sandboarding back down. • Khazali Canyon - This canyon offers a glimpse into the past with traces left by merchants and pilgrims on their journeys to Egypt, Damascus, and Mecca. Visitors can admire Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as petroglyphs on the canyon walls. At the canyon's end, several rock-cut basins for water collection can be observed, enhancing the site’s historical appeal. • Little Rock Bridge - Located in the Khor El Ajram area, this rock formation has been shaped by weathering over time.
