You can cross “visiting the highest point in Jordan” off your bucket list. We take you all the way to the southernmost part of Jordan where hardly any tourists come. You will see how the colors, mountains, and landscape changes as we drive from the red desert to the white desert.
With 1854 meters above sea level, Umm Ad Dami gives you a spectacular view of the north of Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea. The climb itself is not technically difficult, but the path is very rocky, and some sections involve scrambling. After the climb, we prepare a traditional lunch, while you can hike some more in the Wadi Sabet valley.
Hiking up the Umm Ad Dami mountain will be our main focus, but we will also make a few other stops to show you more of the history and highlights Wadi Rum. We end the tour at Um Sabatah, the best place to watch the magical sunset.
OVERNIGHT
To get the full Wadi Rum experience you can add a night in our Bedouin camp, or sleep outside in the cave, under the stars.
