Walk around the town of Wadi Rum

An oasis in the desert – Wadi Rum village (950 m asl) is basically just a bunch of low houses around three asphalted streets. The surrounding mountain walls are really impressive.

Most tourists travel around Wadi Rum desert in open safari jeeps – so the views around the countryside are amazing. The only disadvantage is that you sit on the side benches so the whole day sitting on them is quite uncomfortable, especially when the terrain is uneven.

Not only jeeps run around the streets of Wadi Rum village. There are also a lot of camels looking for their customers.
 

Just behind the village under the rock cliff there is Nabetean temple, or more precisely its remnants.

Views from the ruins of the temple of the town of Wadi Rum and the mesas in the east are quite nice.

A short walk from the town to Lawrence spring leading through the foot of mesa is significantly more interesting.

The whole way offers very nice views and makes you familiar with local mesas.
 

After about twenty minutes of pleasant walk you reached your destination – a small spring, which is pleasantly refreshing. It is a mystery to the layman where does the hydrophilic vegetation struggling for life in small springs come from in the desert like this.

The spring is more than 100 vertical meters higher than the town of Wadi Rum, so it is a nice outlook point to the surroundings.
