Its
commercial importance
peaked during the
Nabatean area, when gold
silks and perfumes were
carried along the same
paths we will be
treading. Our trek
starts from their
capital, Petra a symbol
to their success and
wealth remains one of
the wonders of the world
and finishes in wadi rum
, scene of the Arab
uprising in the 1920's
championed by Lawrence
of Arabia .
As we
make our way south we
cannot but wonder and
admire the advanced
technology used by this
extraordinary trading
nation to trap and carry
the little rain that
falls in this arid
desert. A trek you are
unlikely ever to repeat
or forget.

What
is Wadi Rum:
To the
Arabs Wadi Rum is known
simply as The Valley of
The Moon. to travelers
who have roamed its vast
landscape, Wadi Rum
seems more akin to the
surface of a distant
planet than to anything
on earth. the
combination of its
immensity, color and
awe-inspiring shapes
creates an atmosphere
that is almost
supernatural. Lawrence
of Arabia who held Wadi
Rum in high esteem,
wrote: “ Our little
caravan grew quite self
conscious, and fell dead
quiet, afraid and
ashamed to flaunt its
smallness in the
presence of the
stupendous hills
----Landscapes in
childhood’s dreams were
so vast and silent.” (T.
E. Lawrence: The Seven
Pillars of Wisdom). Wadi
Rum’s immensity is hard
to leave. The longer you
spend there the more
you become attached to
it--- and the more you
long for it when you are
gone. The Valley of the
Moon makes man tremble
at the power and majesty
of nature.
