"Scrambling" routes are often based on the old Bedouin trails on the mountains. They are mostly hill walking routes but you should be prepared to use your hands occasionally to help you along.

They take you into parts of the area that most tourists never see : they are for the adventurous people who enjoy a challenge. They are more difficult than the hiking routes, and you will need to be in good physical condition to get a maximum of enjoyment from them.

Do not try a difficult trip unless you have previous experience in scrambling! There are plenty of "easy scrambling" routes around, and we should be happy to discuss your preferences when you arrive here. If in any doubt, go for an "easy" day, which can be followed by a more difficult one if you are happy with our mountains.

We offer here mainly one and two day tours, and also a five day trip but they can easily be extended, either by adding on all or part of another programme, or by taking a few other routes not described here.

We can also provide a more varied week in Wadi Rum by combining the hiking trips with the simpler scrambling. Many groups coming from tourist agencies much appreciate our week long trekking tours in Wadi Rum.

Footwear : these trails are more "interesting" than the hiking routes and hiking boots with cotton socks are definitely recommended. Stout hiking sandals can also be worn; on some routes trainers are a possibility. Consult your guide if in doubt.

Other equipment : You are likely to be in the sun for much of the time and should have a head covering of some sort - this is the time to learn how to tie a Bedouin kefiya!

You will also need a rucksack or shoulder bag for water, and such oddments as your camera, sunscreen, a light sweater according to season and perhaps some biscuits for a snack. Chocolate melts quickly, but the guide willl show his devotion to duty in helping you to eat it .
