HIKE UMM ADAAMDI DAY TRIP

Jabal Um Addami is the highest mountain in Jordan and located right on the border with Saudi Arabia. This offers a fantastic panorama over the vast desert mountain ranges of southern Wadi Rum and north-western Saudi Arabia. If you are on top of the mountain, you can see Saudi Arabia and even the Red Sea on a clear day. Jebel Um Adaami is 1832m above sea level; by comparison, Wadi Rum village is 1000m above sea level.

 

After pick-up, we will drive you through the desert some 40kms to the south to Jebel Um Addami, take around 1 hour ride. This is a magnificent drive through the far untouched valleys of Wadi Rum and crossing the beautiful and lonely Wadi Saabit. Upon arrival, you will have a guided hike to the top which usually takes about 3 hours. You'll hike up Jabal Um Addami and then, after resting at the top, you'll descend to a nice secluded area. While you rest and explore the area, your guide will start cooking your lunch. After lunch you can hike for 2 hours. Finally, we will go back to the camp and wait for the sunset, and then you can enjoy dinner and music. After your meal, conversation often lingers late around the fire, as we gaze up at the magnificent night sky.  Next day, after breakfast, we will drive you back to Rum village. If you arrive before 7:00 p.m, the evening before your tour, you can stay an extra night at additional costs.
