Day 1: Drive from Petra to Rajif
– Camel Ride from Rajif Mountains to Beer Hamad
The king’s high way between the villages of Taybeh and Rajif
affords a rare vista of steep sandstone inselbergs with sheer
side cliffs, crowned with mazes of domes and little valleys. The
inselbergs are dissected by narrow canyons which hide springs
and groves of fruit trees. The route goes through several
canyons and ascends the inselbergs of Jebel Juleif and Jebel
Barza, both offering rewarding views. Ruins of a Nabatean
village and an Edomite stronghold are found in the lower reaches
of Wadi Tajra to Beer Hamad, which is a Bedouin Well surrounded
by Bedouin Tents, where goats come at noon to drink water, we
will have our campfire near the well, and spend the night by
visiting some Bedouin families and have tea with them.
Day 2: Beer
Hamad – Wadi Dhba’a
In the morning we get ready to ride our camels
and continue to the beginning of Helwa and Sandunes, we will
pass by short canyon which is underground, wet, and cold in
winter, there we have our lunch break, and then ride to Old
Humeima even we will be there, and camping
Day 3: –
Humaima
We will visit the site: Humeima was a remarkable
Nebatean city with a sophisticated water supply system. This is
the place to observe the famous Nabatean techniques for
providing and conserving water in the desert. Among the ruins
are at least 20 cisterns, and aqueduct that was fed by tow
springs. Some of the water installations in Humeima are still
used today by local Bedouin. Afternoon ride our camels to cross
the high way to enter Wadi Rum on the way we pass by Desi
desert, we camp near rock bridge ( Borg Kharaza). |
