The inscriptions and petroglyphs of Wadi Rum testify to more than 12,000 years of human interaction with the natural environment. As in a huge open-air museum they can be seen in their original setting, on large boulders and cliff faces of red sandstone, concentrated along transhumance roads, water sources or human settlements.
