The path to the summit of this mountain is clearly marked and needs no rope. It's 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.
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.

Footwear: Obviously boots are better here. Good walking shoes with cotton socks will do quite well. Trekking sandals or even sneakers would do in a pinch.
Other equipment: You will need a backpack 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.
