Alex Step into Khazali Canyon, where the panorama narrows beneath a sculpted sandstone ceiling and towering, red-brown walls. A wooden walkway leads through the shaded passage, while openings at either end frame the bright desert beyond. The canyon’s layered rock surfaces glow in warm amber tones, shaped by wind, water, and time. Look closely along the walls to find ancient petroglyphs and Thamudic inscriptions, including carved human figures, animals, and symbols. These weathered markings turn the canyon into a gallery of desert history, set within the cool shelter of the gorge. Khazali Canyon combines Wadi Rum’s dramatic natural forms with traces of the people who travelled through this landscape long ago.
