Um Adaami is the highest mountain in Jordan - 1856m above sea level, with a stunning panoramic view. You can see Saudia Arabia; when the weather is clear, you can even see the Red Sea. It is relatively easy - mostly a gradual uphill hike with just a few scrambles!
The drive to Um Adaami takes approximately 1 hour. It is about 40km south of the Wadi Rum village through the beautiful Wadi Saabit, a part of the desert that only a few people see.
The guided climb to the top and back takes approximately 2-3 hours. After the descent, we will have lunch in a pleasantly shaded desert.
Then, we will visit Wadi Nuqra Canyon and Um Sabatah before driving to the camp.
Our Bedouin camp is located on the edge of the wilderness zone. This is a great opportunity to stroll in the almost untouched desert landscape. The area around the camp is also one of the significant sunset viewing points in Wadi Rum, and you can enjoy this over a glass of hot sage tea.
Having eaten a traditional dinner in time-honoured Bedouin style, you can experience the desert at night. Around the time of the full moon, you can see all the surroundings painted in surreal colours, and the moon shines brightly enough to walk around the camp without a flashlight (it's even bright enough to cast a Moonshadow!).
If there is no moon, and without all light pollution, the starry night sky is filled with myriad stars, sparkling constellations, the Milky Way, and often dozens of shooting stars. Some nights, you can listen to traditional Bedouin music, and (temperature permitting) you can even take a mattress and blanket and sleep outside amidst nothing but rolling sands, silence, and the stars above.
The full, if you are an early riser, is that you can watch a glorious sunrise from one of the prime vantage points near the camp; the colours of the dawn are breathtaking as the sun rises from behind the mountains. Then, you will be treated to a hearty breakfast before we begin our second day of touring.
Once rested, we will drive you to Al Hash Mountain. Jebel Hash can be reached quickly and will grant you amazing views of the surrounding valleys. It shall take approximately 2 hours of hiking with the guide.
Jebel Al-Hash's peak extends to 1,700 meters and offers hikers and climbers a moderate challenge. It shall take approximately one hour to drive from the meeting point to the starting point and 3 hours of actual hiking.
The hike starts off with a light climb, and once we reach the top, we will walk across the ridge, where you'll be gifted with some of the most spectacular views across the desert.
Once we've completed the hike to Al Hash, we will take you on our Classic 4x4 Jeep tour.
