Overview

This isn’t just a hike, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime desert achievement. You’ll summit Mount Umm al-Dami, the highest peak in Jordan.

It is the perfect challenge for anyone who wants to discover Wadi Rum on their own feet instead of from a car. It is a great mix of hiking, desert scenery, and local culture, ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone wanting an active Wadi Rum experience!

During the hike, you will pay short visits to Umm Fruth Rock Bridge and Lawrence’s House, then finish the tour at a beautiful sunset viewpoint, where the desert colors really come to life!

After the hike, relax with a traditional Bedouin lunch and tea by the fire.
