Dadan Heritage Trail

Remnants of an old Nabatean city. Highlight are the Lion Tombs of Dadan, carved tombs into the rocks with large lions carved at each side. The lion sculptures can only be observed by installed binoculars from about 170 m, because the structure is very fragile. Tour includes the visit at a small museum at the Dadan Visitor Center and a visit at the archaeological excavation site. It can only be visited as part of a two hour tour. Unfortunately the tour is spun out longer than it should be and the English version of the audio guide is weak.

A scenic viewpoint at Mount Harrat overlooking the whole valley. There is also a parking lot and fancy restaurant at that same spot.

The historical town center, a cluster of ancient houses mixed with new buildings that were made looking old. A small castle has a great view of the old town but it can only be visited on a tour booked from the Incense Road.

Ancient petroglyphs that were carved into the nearby mountains and rocks by ancient travellers and pilgrims. The tour includes a participation at rock carving workshop where visitors can carve their names in old Nabatean language into rocks, which they can take home as souvenirs. Visited together with the Old City of Dadan.

Facilities all set up and ready for tourists, but are locked tight as a drum! This location will likely be developed as a tourist attraction.
