You will be told historic meanings at some of the sites, and are highly welcome to ask questions about Bedouin life and culture. All short tours include stops at Lawrence's house, the big red sand dune, Khazali Canyon and Little Rock Arch.

Little Rock Arch The smallest natural arch in Wadi Rum, this rock bridge has beautiful panoramic views over the top of Kor al-Ajram, Jebel Rum and Khazali Canyon.
Lawrence’s House Long before Lawrence passed through, Bedouins took shelter from wind and bandits in this old Nabatean station, set on caravan route from Hijaz to Petra and Damascus. Awesome views across the sweeping valley floor to Jebel Raqqa
Anfeshiyeh Inscriptions This set of Nabatean inscriptions was etched to mark routes and give signals to passing travelers. Some point out the area’s water sources while others warn of its various dangers. Others show the winners of the winter camel races that once circled this mountain

About Aqaba
Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport, a warm Red Sea resort town at the head of its gulf, backed by desert mountains and near Wadi Rum and Petra.
Aqaba sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, at the north end of the Red Sea, with the mountains of Edom behind it and Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the other shores of the gulf. Jordan's only seaport, it has been a trading place since ancient times, and an early Islamic city, Ayla, has excavated remains on the seafront. The fort near the harbour dates from the Mamluk period, and Aqaba fell to the forces of the Arab Revolt in 1917.
