The view from Um Adaami

A drive through the desert some 40kms to the south to Jebel Um Adaami, the highest mountain in Jordan which sits squarely on the border with Saudi Arabia, and a guided hike to the top, which usually takes about 2 1/2 hours. When we come down again we shall have lunch.

This is a magnificent drive going through the far valleys of Wadi Rum and crossing the beautiful and lonely Wadi Saabit. Just the drive to get there takes an hour and a half, so you should count this as a full day. On the way back, if we have time, we can look into one or two of the tiny valleys branching off Wadi Saabit - see the Map of Wadi Rum.

Climbing Um Adaami - on the enlargement you can see some people climbing

The path to the summit of this mountain is clearly marked and  needs no rope.  It  is no more than rough hill walking over rocky ground, and you are rewarded by the panoramic view over Saudi Arabia to the south and Wadi Rum to the north. This trip can also be included in the Wadi Rum Adventure programme.

Price : 75D/person for 2-3 people. This includes all meals and sleeping equipment .
