The 7 pillars of Wisdom

The 7 pillars is the first mountain you will see when you arrive in Wadi Rum. Not only during your visit to the Visitor center, but also during your driving from the visitor center to our village on your left.

Enthroned on the entrance to the desert 7km before our village, this mountain is more than impressive. Reachable on foot of the road, you will see only 5 of the pillars, the other 2 being on the other side of the mountain.

Its name comes of course from the book of Lawrence of Arabia. It is a very interesting mountain because hiking in canyons crossing on the other side are possible.

If you are interested in this hike, do not hesitate to discuss it with us!
