The summit of Jebel Rum is simply magnificent. A breathtaking 360 degree view over an ever changing desert is something you will never forget. From the village we'll drive by jeep around Jebel Rum (half hour). We'll get to the west side of the mountain where our hike up the mountain starts, along the traditional Bedouin route, called the Nabatean Route. This hike doesn't require knowledge of climbing, but for some moves you will need the help of your guide.
After reaching the summit we shall go down another way, more recently discovered, on the East side called Hammad's Route. It was climbed for the first time in the 80's by a Bedouin from Wadi Rum. On our way down we will make some abseils and then we will arrive back at the Village.
Notes:
- The way up will likely take us 4 hours
- The way down will also take about 4 hours
- Difficulty rating: Long scrambling (Grade III).
