Zoning scheme
 Wadi
Rum has a zoning scheme to protect ecologically sensitive areas
and ensure that a large part of the protected area keeps its wilderness
character and remains as natural as possible. There are two zones
in the scheme, a free access zone and a wilderness zone. Controls
on visitor activities in the free access zone are minimal but in
the wilderness zone there are limits on tourist and vehicle numbers
and special events like marathons. Camping and climbing are also
more restricted but access on foot or by camels and horses is encouraged.
