The mountains are made of granite and gneiss, their domed, lighter-colored peaks of sandstone. One of the most beautiful desert landscapes on earth lies before us!
We set off to explore it and experience the magnificent play of colors - the
golden yellow or rusty brown, gray-blue, violet or even fiery red in the evening light.
We follow in the footsteps of the first inhabitants of Wadi Rum and Thomas Edward, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, who stayed in Wadi Rum in 1917.
As an advisor to the later Iraqi. King Feisal I, he organized the Arab uprising against the Turks (1916-18) and described this uprising in the report "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom".

We hike to the Khazali massif, where there is a small hidden gorge with rock engravings. We continue to a natural stone bridge. If you want to visit it, you can easily climb it. We set up a wild camp for the night. Around us, large and small, shimmering reddish stone mountains, sculpted by wind and weather, rise up out of the sand.
