Alameleh Inscriptions

Petroglyphs (Alameleh inscriptions) of a caravan of camels on the sandstone rock in Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.

Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions, depicting camel caravans, hunting warriors and various animals, are common throughout the Wadi Rum area. The Alameleh inscriptions, near the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and on the edge of the Diseh district, are some of the most comprehensive and best preserved.
