Jabal Um Ad Dami Trekking Expedition (Jordan’s Highest Peak - 1,854m)
For passionate hikers and mountaineers, Jabal Um Ad Dami is the holy grail of Jordan trekking. Located approximately 35 kilometers south of Wadi Rum Village near the Saudi Arabian border, the expedition begins with a scenic 4x4 wilderness crossing through dramatic crimson dunes and forgotten desert valleys. From the mountain base, embark on a guided 2.5 to 3-hour alpine ascent following natural rocky ledges, goat paths, and stone cairns. At the 1,854-meter summit, stand beside the Jordanian flag for a staggering 360-degree panorama: the vast sandy plains of Saudi Arabia stretching to the south, the jagged red massif of Wadi Rum to the north, and on clear days, the azure waters of the Red Sea in the distance. Descend to a secluded acacia grove where your guide prepares a freshly cooked lunch and rejuvenating sage tea before the 4x4 return journey.
