The name of the place means there is water in the area, that�s probably how this tree manage to grow alone in the middle of the desert�

We had almost missed it but when we asked our "guide" what was so exceptional about thi place, he pointed out the Nabateans writing on this stone.

Nabateans were the ancient people who populated the area. See my page about Petra, their capital for more information about them.

This is just a small siq but the mountains around are really impressive, we can clearly see the action of the winds.

Only 15 minutes from the village with our jeep, it would have taken at least an hour to get here riding a camel...

Probably much more fun to do it the camel way but if you don't have too much time, the motorised way is probably the best one...

You can climb into the siq, not very long, this is quickly a dead-end!!
Howevewer you can see again many carving in the rock. There was some writing in such an early arabic that even my arab friend was not able to understand them...

Not too sure what is the name of this small arch but this is definitely not Burdah. Burdah or the rock bridge is well know since a cigaret brand used it for advertising.
One hour drive from the village, our driver said it was too far and showed us this stuff instead.
Not sure this is something listed on the official program...
If anyone knows, please let me know...

freya_heaven mentionned this could be the Rock Arch of Jebel Kharaz.

Another halt to discover this natural rock bridge.
Not very high, it's not really impressive from downstairs...

Lawrence d'Arabie had united all arabic armies in this desert. That's also where some scene of the movie were shot.
We can now find its name associated to many places....
Nothing really exceptional about this wall! THis is supposed to the remainings of a house where he staid at some time!
