Itinerary description
|
Route made with the Mountain Travel Agency GEOGRAPHICA, dedicated to hiking activities, among others.
Linear route through one of the most spectacular canyons in Wadi Rum and according to some in the world.
To access the beginning of the route we arrived in 4 x 4 vehicles, the same ones that picked us up at the exit of the canyon.
We start the route next to a large mushroom-shaped rock to enter through canyons surrounded by beautiful mountains.
Thanks to the support car that we had, we enjoyed a break taking a tea with some pastries that we dipped in it.
At the end of the route we enjoy two of the most impressive formations: a gigantic cleft and a stone bridge.
The Uadi Rum or Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a desert valley located 1600 m in a mountainous region made up of granite and sandstone in southern Jordan, 60 km east-northeast of Aqaba. It is the longest wadi in Jordan. The name rum means "high" or "high" in the Aramaic language, and its pronunciation denotes the close Arabic influence. The highest point of Uadi Rum is Mount Jabal Umm ad Dami, at 1854 masl.
The Uadi Rum protected area is the first Unesco World Heritage Site (2011) mixed site in Jordan.
Uadi Rum has been inhabited since Prehistory by various cultures, including the Nabataeans, who have left their mark on the petroglyphs. Since 2007, several Bedouin tribes have inhabited the desert.
In the West, Uadi Rum is known to British Army Officer TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), who used it as a base of operations during the 1917-1918 Arab Rebellion. In the 1980s, one of the most spectacular rock formations in Uadi Rum was named The Seven Pillars of Wisdom in honor of Lawrence's book of the same name, although it has nothing to do with it. Since 1984, several well-known climbers have used this area as a climbing area.
The Uadi Rum-centered region is home to the Bedouins of the Zalabia tribe, who are responsible for organizing adventure ecotourism for visitors.
In the Khaz'ali canyon are a series of petroglyphs, located in caves, from the pre-Islam culture of the Tamils.
