Anfashieh Inscriptions
نقوش عنفيشية
Thamudic and Nabataean rock carvings on sandstone walls, showing camel caravans and people. They are a witness to the ancient desert trade routes.
The Anfishieh Inscriptions are on rock walls near Umm Ishrin Mountain. They feature Thamudic script, Nabataean inscriptions, and motifs of camel trains and hunters, dating back more than 2,000 years. They bear witness to Wadi Rum's role on the ancient incense trade routes. The carvings are not high up and can be viewed up close, but please do not touch them. Jeep routes usually combine this stop with the Red Sand Dune or Lawrence Spring.
