We continue, visiting "Lawrence's House" from where there are some great views and then to the Barragh Canyon. Here we have lunch. There is an optional short hike in the canyon for about 1 km. In the afternoon we drive to where we have a view up the mountain of the bridge on Jebel Burdah and then to Um Fruth Bridge (which you can climb if you wish - it is about 20 m high) and Khazali Canyon.
From there we head back to the camp from where you can watch the sunset. A bit later we have supper, enjoy the evening and the stars and stay to sleep.

Next morning after breakfast we will start to drive through the desert 40 km to the south to Jebel Um Adaami (1.832 m above sea level), the highest mountain in Jordan which sits squarely on the border to Saudi Arabia and a guided hike to the top, which usually takes about 2 ½ hours. When we come down we shall have lunch.
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 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.
