Full-Day Hike Tour: “Hiking & Scrambling Jabal Umm ad Dami”

Tour Overview:

Tour Duration: 8 Hours | Languages: English | Group Members: Unlimited

We will take you for a drive through the desert for about 40 km to the south until we reach Jabal Umm Ad Dami. The mountain lies on the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia and it is the tallest mountain in Jordan (more than 1,800 meters high). There we will have a guided hike to the top, which usually takes about two and a half hours and a little less to come down again.
During this 8-hour jeep tour, we will hike Jabal Umm Ad Dami, take amazing photos, try our home-cooked lunch and watch the famous Wadi Rum Sunset.
If you choose to spend the night with us, we will drive you to our traditional Bedouin Cave or Camp, light up a warm fire, offer you some Bedouin tea and prepare dinner. We will provide you with mattresses, warm blankets & pillows, as nights in the desert are cold, no matter the season. Usually every night we gather all together, play Bedouin music and tell stories about the Wadi Rum desert and the Bedouin culture
Don’t miss the opportunity to go for a night-time walk in the desert under our guidance and watch the amazing starry night sky, far away from any.

Next day, after breakfast, we will take you back to the Rest House in the Wadi Rum village.

Tour Itinerary:

Lawrence’s Spring

T. E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, will always be synonymous with Wadi Rum, both for the time he spent there during World War I and for the evocative descriptions in his masterful Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Today, tours by local Bedouin guides incorporate several of the sites most closely associated with the British lieutenant, including Lawrence’s Spring near Rum Village.

Red Sand Dunes

Wadi Rum desert is dotted with dunes. Both yellow and red dunes. The highest dune is in Wadi Um Ishrin. We prefer to visit the one near Khazali canyon for two reasons. Climbing this dune is easy, as you can climb via the rocks on the side. When on the top, you will have plenty of energy left to enjoy the pretty valley views and to run down the dune.

Abu Khashaba canyon

Walking through Abu Khashaba canyon is a discovery hike. You will see yellow sand, red sand, fabulously shaped mountainsides, and various plants and fig trees. Further, you can test your scrambling skills and stamina. This hike is part of our jeep tour. The Burdah rock bridge tour makes a great second day. The intense red of the dune and the deep blue of the sky above is a fascinating view.

Burdah rock bridge

The Burdah rock bridge,is one of the most popular rock bridges in Wadi Rum desert in Jabal Burdah. The Burdah rock bridge is on the north ridge with lenghth 35 meters. It is considered to be one of the highest rock bridges in the world. It is definitely one of the most spectacular places in our desert. If you have (a sense of) vertigo the best option is to marvel at this rock bridge from the valley floor.
