Canyon trekking in the Tertiary limestone mountains of NE Oman about 2 hours drive (on a splendid tarmac motorway) south of Muscat. We were the only people in the wadi on this day but it is very popular and does get busier!

On holiday in Jordan we drove out of Aqaba to Wadi Rum about 60km to the east towards the Saudi Arabian border. This is effectively the gateway to the Arabian desert and a wadi made famous by Lawrence of Arabia who passed this way several times during the Arab Revolt of 1917-18. It also featured in the 1960s film.
