Now there is more to see, so you’ll head to Lawrence’s house, located on an open and high area that overlooks the white desert. See where the beautiful and amazing landscape combine the white and red deserts at the same time. After taking pictures you will head to the white desert and to the mushroom rock. This strange formation formed due to weather conditions over millions of years. The other area is the Abu Khushaiba Canyon, where the guide will lead you to a walking path before taking the car and meeting you on the opposite side.

It’s time to leave, so we will pack our bags and head to the camp, where we will show you your tent and the manager will explain the system inside the camp and answer any questions you have.
There is the big tent or the communal tent, where we drink tea, sit around the fire, exchange cultures with the Bedouins, and dance, sing and joke
Second day (In the morning) :
At 7 am is breakfast. after finishing your meal, there is plenty of time to prepare what you need for the trip.
Starting from the camp we head towards Bardah Bridge through Khor Al-Ajram. We pass through the red desert to the white, where true beauty and creativity lie in the formations of mountains and sand.
Climbing the bridge is not very difficult, except in the last part, as it is a steep slope. Be careful while crossing but do not worry, your experienced guide will help you to the top, where you will be rewarded with the most beautiul view of the Wadi Rum desert. You will have time to take photos and enjoy the place before heading back to the car.
Rest and lunch time :
After getting off the bridge, the guide takes you to the lunch area for free time. You can take a rest or explore the surrounding area until lunch is ready..
Afternoon :
Go to the Roman Bedouin dam. Named after the Romans who built it, with the passage of time and natural factors, including the wind and the scarcity of rain, the dam was covered with sand and became useless to save water, until the Bedouins rebuilt it hundreds of years ago..
The next destination is the Bedouin storeroom, a room built hundreds of years ago in a way to keep the temperature as low as possible, to preserve sheep milk products such as labneh, cheese and butter..
We then drive through the Great Valley and head to Bardah Canyon. Walk through the Canyon to the other side, where your guide awaits you, then head to the village, where there is a summit overlooking the famous valley.
