About Jebel Um Adaami

At 1845 metres above sea level, Um Adaami is the highest mountain in Jordan. It is situated 40 kms south of the village of Wadi Rum, on the border with Saudi Arabia. From the summit on a clear day visitors will have views across the north of Saudi Arabia, and even to the Red Sea. Although it is high and a local guide is needed, it is not a difficult hike to the top of Um Adaami.

Itinerary

From Wadi Rum village, we travel by jeep 40 kms south to Jebel Um Adaami, passing through the wide valley of Wadi Sabet. At Jebel Um Adaami your guide will lead the way to the top of the mountain, a hike of about three-and-a-half hours to get up and down, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the views from the top.

Back down from the mountain we will have lunch (cooked over a fire), and rest in the shade and quiet of the desert for a while.

After lunch we will travel by jeep to visit a place to show you how water is collected and stored in the desert, and then to the red sand dunes.

As the day ends we will go to a place where you will have a great view of the sun setting over the mountains and sands of Wadi Rum. Then we return to Wadi Rum village to end your tour.
