This is an easy hiking and riding tour, with no difficulties involved. We have varied the simple walking with trips in a jeep.

The cliff commonly called "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" at the entrance to Wadi Rum

Day 1 : We start from the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, hiking up through Makharas Canyon to the valley of Um Ishrin. This should take about 3 hours and we shall have lunch on the way. In the afternoon, we continue to Barragh Canyon. At the entrance to the canyon, we shall have supper and stay there to sleep.

Day 2 : After breakfast, we shall walk up the canyon, which should take about 3 hours. After lunch, a hike in the easy sandy valley towards Jebel Burdah, where we will have supper and spend the night.

Back in the camp we will have lunch, and after a short rest, another 3 hour walk to the evening's camp from where we can watch the sunset.

Day 4 : an easy hike of about 5 hours to Jebel Khasch, near to the border of Saudi Arabia. More magnificent views can be had from the top. Back down again, lunch and a rest, before setting out to walk through Wadi Nachra Canyon which is notable for its beautiful white sand. In the evening we camp near Jebel Abu Hamata.
