Jebel Rum
(1754M above sea level - Wadi Rum village is 1000m above sea level)

First a quick warning : this is more serious going than Jebel Burdah! You are definitely into climbing instead of "scrambling" here

We start in the village and take a jeep ride of 1/2 an hour to the west side of Jebel Rum where we will start up the mountain by the traditional bedouin route. This climb is rated grade 3 on the French system. We will take some special equipment for safety - it is likely to take us about 4 or 5 hours. Count on about 10-12 hours for the full day.

Price : 1-3 people : 300JD. 3-6 people : 100JD/person. More than 6 people will need two guides and will cost 130JD/person.

These prices do NOT include food and sleeping, if you are staying with us you will be charged 25JD/person per day extra.

If you like you can take two days to do this. Bring with you a small bag with whatever you need for the night. You will need to bring sleeping bags with you. The guide will carry the safety ropes and the food will be shared between everybody. We hike to the top where we will enjoy the marvellous view, and the sunset, and will stay there to sleep. If you are lucky you might see some ibex (the mountain goats). After sunrise we start down again, arriving on the east side near to the village of Rum. This will include some abseiling.

Please note that the overnight option is not offered during the winter or during the month of Ramadan whenever this falls.

Price : 1-3 people : 480JD for the 2 days, 4-6 people 150JD/person. More than 6 people (needing two guides) 180JD./person This is just the price for the guide, and is to be shared between the whole group. Food and overnight accommodation are not included - see above.
