JEBEL UM ADAMI
|
Jebel Um Adami lies on the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The intersection of the border cuts the mountain into two halves, but we are lucky to have the summit on our side.
The summit, which is the highest point in Jordan, is a staggering 1800 m above sea level. We will approach the summit from the northeast side, and from there you will be able to see the amazing Saudi Arabian desert on the far horizon. Also on a clear day, the azure blue waters of the Red Sea (Aqaba) can be seen.
This expedition offers many opportunities to see the rich wildlife that inhabits the mountain, especially foxes, rabbits and gazelles. The views as you reach the summit are breath-taking, and are guaranteed to create life-long memories

JEBEL AL HASH
|
The Jebel Al Hash Mountain is located in the Al Forah area, close to where the Jordanian border intersects the Saudi Arabian border.
This again is a very easy climb for anyone who is inexperienced or who would like a simple hike. We will take you up the east side of the mountain (Um Snenah) Valley, and go through the valley to the top. Our descent follows a different route down the northwest side of the mountain (by Wadi Nuqra). The total climb takes approximately 5 hours.
This is probably the most beautiful mountain in Wadi Rum to scramble on, because as you arrive at the highest point (1700m above sea level) you will see all of the different colours that exist in Wadi Rum.
