Level of difficulty: A physically challenging hike off-trail with rocky scrambling.

 

 

Your adventure begins in Rum Village, where we head directly to Rakhabat Canyon — a narrow, scenic canyon that cuts through the stunning rock formations of Jabal Um Ishrin and Jabal Nassrani.

The tour starts with an uphill hike, climbing a series of rock slabs that open up to incredible views of Wadi Rum and Jabal Rum. As we traverse the canyon, we’ll move along the rock formations before descending into the valley of Um Ishrin. The entire canyon crossing takes approximately 2 to 3 hours and offers a beautiful mix of views, terrain, and peaceful desert atmosphere.

Around the halfway point, we’ll pause for a lunch break in a quiet spot. Your guide will prepare a freshly cooked meal, giving you time to rest and enjoy the unique surroundings.

After lunch, we continue by jeep to the Anfashiyyah Inscription site, where you’ll have the chance to see some of the most impressive Thamudic and Nabatean petroglyphs in the region — a fascinating window into ancient desert life.

Next, we visit Abu Brashamani, the largest sand dune in Wadi Rum, where you can climb, run down, or simply admire the deep red sands.

To end the day, we take you to a peaceful, scenic spot to watch the sunset — the perfect end to a day full of exploration, history, and natural beauty.
