Day 1: Drive
from Petra to Rajif – Camel Ride from Rajif Mountains to Beer Hamad
The king’s high way between the villages of
Taybeh and Rajif affords a rare vista of steep sandstone inselbergs with
sheer side cliffs, crowned with mazes of domes and little valleys. The
inselbergs are dissected by narrow canyons which hide springs and groves
of fruit trees. The route goes through several canyons and ascends the
inselbergs of Jebel Juleif and Jebel Barza, both offering rewarding
views. Ruins of a Nabatean village and an Edomite stronghold are found in
the lower reaches of Wadi Tajra to Beer Hamad, which is a Bedouin Well
surrounded by Bedouin Tents, where goats come at noon to drink water, we
will have our campfire near the well, and spend the night by visiting
some Bedouin families and have tea with them.
