Typical visit: 1h

A narrow cleft in a Wadi Rum massif with Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions on the walls. The siq is short, so most visitors spend only a few minutes inside, but the carvings of people, animals and footprints are among the best preserved rock art in the protected area. Khazali is a standard stop on the jeep tours that leave from Rum village, usually paired with sand dunes, natural rock bridges and Lawrence’s Spring, and it is not practical to reach without a 4x4 and a local driver. Entry to Wadi Rum itself requires the protected area ticket, which is included in the Jordan Pass. Visit early or late in the day for softer light and cooler temperatures, carry water, and wear shoes with grip because the canyon floor is rocky and can be slippery.

Wadi Rum is a protected desert of sandstone and granite mountains rising from red sand, inhabited by Bedouin communities who run the camps and jeep tours. Nights in a desert camp with clear skies are the point as much as the landscape itself. Scrambling routes and rock climbing are available for those who want more than a jeep tour.
