Follow local climber and developer Faisal Al Rifai on an intimate bouldering journey across Jordan. From the sandstone desert of Wadi Rum to the valleys of the Dead Sea, Kingdom of Treasures reveals a side of the country few have seen, shaped by adventure, discovery, and a deep connection to the land.
Along the way, Faisal shares the new areas he has found and the experience of developing them. Through his eyes, you'll discover Jordan's rich culture, ancient history, and breathtaking landscapes, and why climbing here is like nowhere else.
Beneath Wadi Rum’s endless skies lies a desert painted in shades of gold, where sandstone boulders glow at dawn and dusk. Fields of Gold is the first bouldering film ever made in Wadi Rum, directed by Eadan Cunningham. It follows a group of climbers from the UK — Zoe Wood, Duncan Cunningham, and Luke Fletcher — alongside Jordan’s own Faisal Al Rifai, as they uncover the raw, untapped beauty of bouldering in this legendary desert.
