2nd day

Departure of the caravan. We just take some luggage for the day with us. The main part of our luggage is carried by car to our camp. We walk or ride through lovely desert landscapes.
We pass two of the impressive stone bridges, where we have a rest with enough time for taking pictures or climbing up the rocks.

3rd day

We pass the very famous “mushroom rock”, known from the film „Laurence of Arabia“. We camp at the spectacular rock formations “Umm Madreira” where we have lunch and enjoy the panoramic view.
The natural underground cave of the cistern Charabt al Bait provides an amazing resonance room. Of course we take the advantage and let the rocks sound and tone.
We spend the night at Abu Salim, a Bedouin of the clan, who still lives with his family in the traditional goat hair tents in the desert.

4th day

The expanse of the Wadi Al Hummaimah leads us to the Nabataean village “Al Hummaimah Al Qadimah”, which we will explore.
Then we enter the Wadi Chaimr. The jeep cannot follow us in this Wadi; we have to take the luggage for the next 24 hours with us on the camels. The beauty of  the Wadi Chaimr with its coloured sandstone rocks, narrow canyons and hidden well never ceases to amaze.

5th day

Red rocks in bizarre forms, individual trees, we might even find a butterfly. The landscape opens up and we meet next dry river valleys, the first sand dunes. We will walk without shoes through the wide dunes of Wadi Raigane, which will give us a totally new impression of the desert landscape. The soft sand invites you to enjoy yourself and romp around.
In the evening light, we climb the dunes and enjoy the sunset surrounded by soft sand landscapes.

6th day

Wadi Al Melouwen surpasses all the coloured sandstone rocks we have seen so far during our trip We hike through without our camels; the very narrow path does not allow the camels passing through it.. Travellers suffering from vertigo or not sure-footed are recommended to take the alternative route on camels or in the jeep.
In Wadi Raquilla we will touch the many colours of the sandstone for the first time.
The silence in these wadis is worth listening to.
The overnight camp is located in Wadi Xaib, which is blessed with water, so that a watering hole lets enjoying the camels and beautiful trees lining the shore.
