Tour Introduction

Embark on an extra-ordinary desert adventure, travelling like the ancient Bedouins used to do! This slow, but memorable mode of transport is an unforgettabe experience, as it gives you a feeling of life in the old days. You will stop at ancient inscriptions which were used as signs and route explanations to point the traveler to certain landmarks, for example or drawings of occurrences that happened during that time. We will show you an important water hole which has been used ever since to provide water for travelers, camels and other lifestock (you will also let your camel drink!) You will ride over huge sand dunes, through canyons. You will be with your camel all day, until we reach the Bedouin camp in the evening.  It is a beautiful experience, especially when riding into the sunset. Admire towing mountians, rocks, and breathtaking desert views.  

ITINERARY

After welcoming you with a cup of tea in our family house in the village, we embark on our adventure. First we stop at Lawrence Spring, where you can let your camel drink, then a big sand dune you climb up on foot and run/ jump down. Then we ride to Khazali Mountain, where we will show you ancient inscriptinos inside Khazali Canyon. Afterwards, we pass Little Rock Arch which you can scramble up. Now the camels will lead us to Lawrence House, famous from the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia. We will stop at a nice place to have lunch, then continue riding over dunes and different coloured sand, until we reach the camp. We will ride during the sinking sun, and either stop for sunset viewing in a pretty spot on the way, or you can watch it from the camp. At the camp you will enjoy Bedouin food, sit around the fire with traditional music being played for you on the oud, gaze at stars, and have a good nights rest. In the morning after buffet breakfast we go back to the village. If you want to include riding through canyons and to many more scenic places, for a deeper experience, please book the 2 day option under "Additional Services"
