Massive sand banks surround the Jibal Al-Rukkab and line most of its canyons, providing easy access to stunning viewpoints over the fantastic rock shapes and the labyrinth of valleys that run through the massif.

The most impressive rock formations of Jibal Al-Rukkab are three incredibly tall natural pillars that stand in the middle of a wide wadi and at the bottom of huge sand bank that offers a perfect viewpoint on the out-this-world scenery. The silhouette of these rocks are so striking that locals gave them the nickname "the three dancers".

It is worth checking the rocks and cracks in the walls as they may reveal tunnels or offer unexpected viewpoints.

The cliffs host another surprise too: old carvings and inscriptions. Obviously the amazing scenery of Jibal Al-Rukkab has attracted people for millennia and maybe the rain water that collected at some parts of the canyons were also of interest for travellers of the past. Some of them have left a record of their passage with carvings of camels and sheep, human figures, and inscriptions. The Nabatean ones that are found deep inside the massif prove that locals already explored this wonderful place some 2 000 years ago. Being on their tracks millennia after makes the visit even more exciting.
