Lawrence's House (Al-Qsair)
القصير
The ruins of a Nabataean stone house on a red sand dune, where Lawrence is said to have stored supplies. The views around it are wide open.
Lawrence's House is a ruined stone wall built on the foundations of a Nabataean-era water cistern. Local legend holds that T. E. Lawrence stored supplies here during the Arab revolt. The site itself is very small, and its main attraction is the elevated red sand dune where it stands, offering views over the surrounding sandstone mountains and desert. It is a standard stop on the half-day jeep route and is often linked with Khazali Canyon and Little Rock Bridge.
