Lawrence’s Spring - The spring is at the top of a short scramble
- head for the fig tree, located just 2km (1.2 miles) south-west of the village of Rum. The spring was named in honour of Lawrence’s evocative description in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom:
‘In front of us a path, pale with use, zigzagged up the cliff-plinth…From between [the] trees, in hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries; the echoes, turned into music, of the voices of the Arabs watering camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above ground’.
Although the pool itself is largely unprepossessing, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly spectacular.

Take a 3-hour long Tour in our 4x4 to the most popular sites of the desert and get the chance to enjoy the sport of the desert, Sand-Boarding.
Sand-boarding is the sport also known as Sand-surfing or Dune-surfing because in contrast to its water or snow counterparts, you will be sliding down sand dunes that consist of soft sand.
It is a unique, fun activity of the desert that everyone can enjoy and it is considered one of the best ways to take some amazing photos & videos.
What makes Wadi Rum one of the best locations to sand surf is that it is filled with a number of both large sand dunes for achieving greater speed and smaller ones that are more beginner friendly.
Our starting point is the Wadi Rum Rest House in the Wadi Rum Village which is located 7 km from the Visitor Center.
From there we will start an amazing adventure exploring hidden canyons, weirdly shaped rocks and ancient sites.
