Khazali Canyon
Siq al-Khazali
The most famous narrow gorge in Wadi Rum, with rock walls covered in Nabataean and Thamudic rock art and inscriptions showing people, camels, and footprints.
Khazali Canyon is a crack in the Khazali rock mass. The entrance is fairly wide, but about 100 meters in, it narrows and you must climb to continue. The walls on both sides preserve rock art thousands of years old, including human figures, ibex, camels, and footprint motifs. Nearly every jeep tour stops here, and the canyon's shade makes it a refuge from the midday heat. Please do not touch the rock art.
