This temple was built on the ruins of Allat temple of the AAD TRIBE. Lawrence’s spring: where Lawrence of Arabia reputedly washed during the Arab Revolt.

Khazali canyon: deep, narrow fissure in the mountain side, containing many rock inscriptions. Little bridge: one of the most popular rock bridges in Wadi Rum desert is named for its size. The Um Fruth rock bridge is one of the most photographed places in Wadi Rum. The bridge is about 15 meters up from the desert floor. Lawrence’s House in Wadi Rum is called so because TE Lawrence reportedly slept here during his time in the desert. But actually, the place has a much older history than its namesake. Burdah Rock Bridge/Burdah Arch: This natural rock arch is the largest and most impressive rock arch found in our Protected Area. You will enjoy a box lunch/cocked Bedouin lunch during the tour.
