"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.
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 fruit or biscuits for a snack. |
