Wadi Disah
We were up early for a prompt start to leave Al Ula bush camp to drive north to another bush cap at Wadi Disah.
It was another area of sandstone that had been eroded into interesting shapes.
And columns of rock.
The wadi is an unspoilt wadi with a stream running trough the centre. There are no facilities but also no cafes, souvenir shops or street vendors. It is still unspoilt but with 2030 looing, it will be very different in just a few years time.
The road finished outsde the town and there is a deep ford...or shallow if you take the route aound the edge.
Some people liked to take the deep route for the fun of driving through deep water.
A convoy of cars going through the ford. Despite the convoy, it was a quiet valley with feww tourists. I walked for two hours up the wadi and only saw a handful of cars and none on the way back until I got within half a kiloetre of the first and deeest ford.
Some holes for taking wooden poles to create a temporary shelter.
Just one of many crags.
I was walking up the wadi but the rest of the group had a jeep tour up it and they passed me on their way back down.
An iconic tower in the wadi.
The tower reflected in one of the many fords. The deepest was knee deep but enough to get wet even if you are in a car.
We bush camped at the end of the wadi. The next morning was another early start in the dark to drive up to cross the border into Jordan.
