There are various places in Wadi Rum where the white and red sands meet, but the most commonly visited is a dune sloping up alongside a jebel. A bit tough to climb up, great fun to run down! It can be difficult ascending those—use small steps.
Small rock arch that is the most accessible and easy to ascend within the Protected Area.
Nobody is certain that this was Lawrence's house, although there are stories that he both stayed and/or stored weapons here. The current structure is built upon the remains of a Nabataean building, however, and it's another beautiful spot in the desert. The house itself is bunch of rubble, though, and not very impressive. Climb the rocks beside Lawrence House for a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the valley below.
2 km south-west of the village of Rum. The spring is at the top of a short scramble—head for the fig tree! Although the pool itself is largely unprepossessing, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly spectacular.
Sandy Canyon with desert tree, guided tours will drop visitors at one end and they can walk through the canyon to be collected at the other side.
Not far from the red Sand Dune area this mountain has depictions of a camel caravan from the Nabatean and Thaumadic period.
