Tanuf

Upon reaching, I noticed that there wasn’t much water in the wadi, or even in the overlying dam. It was a pity, I thought; it had only rained on the outskirts a few days ago.

The famous dam of Tanuf was also on the brink of exhausting its water reserves. The only possibility of seeing some water in the wadi is post the rains, which is expected sometime early in 2018.

Nevertheless, I unpacked my camera kit and began clicking away.

The sun was glaring down on me, which affected some of my photos –the afternoon rays are every photographer’s nightmare.

I believe things will be different in the winter months. It is the best time to visit the location, too.

Upon scouring the rocks, I noticed the ruins; they are located a few metres from the vast valley of narrow and sloping rocks. Walking through, it made me feel like I was exploring a canyon of some sorts.
