Wadi Rum Mountain Hike: Umm Ad Dami, highest point of Jordan + Jeep tour & Lunch
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
You can cross “visiting the highest point in Jordan” off your bucket list. We take you all the way to the southernmost part of Jordan where hardly any tourists come. You will see how the colors, mountains, and landscape changes as we drive from the red desert to the white desert.
With 1854 meters above sea level, Umm Ad Dami gives you a spectacular view of the north of Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea. The climb itself is not technically difficult, but the path is very rocky, and some sections involve scrambling. After the climb, we prepare a traditional lunch, while you can hike some more in the Wadi Sabet valley.
Hiking up the Umm Ad Dami mountain will be our main focus, but we will also make a few other stops to show you more of the history and highlights Wadi Rum. We end the tour at Um Sabatah, the best place to watch the magical sunset.
OVERNIGHT
To get the full Wadi Rum experience you can add a night in our Bedouin camp, or sleep outside in the cave, under the stars.

A truly authentic experience in Wadi Rum

5.00The all-day hike was one of our most authentic and memorable days in Jordan. Ateyeg (sorry if I didn’t get his name right) led us to the summit after a trip of about an hour. The hike isn’t long, but it’s uphill the whole way, on terrain that’s sandy in places but mostly rocky. The view from the top is amazing! Afterward, he made us lunch and showed us several other beautiful spots. He even invited us over to his grandparents’ tent for tea. We really enjoyed having some time to walk around on our own and climb a rock or two. I highly recommend this tour! 👌🏻 I hope that soon many visitors will once again be able to enjoy the scenery there and the kindness of the locals! 🤞🏻

5.00I really enjoyed my stay in Wadi Rum Desert Dreams. Great food, wonderful guides, especially Ali with whom we climbed the highest peak in Jordan. Also crazy singing and dancing with Bakhir (don't forget to ask him for a riddle).

5.00The best experience on our trip to Jordan! We had a campfire and a lunch in the desert made by local people! It was very good. We went to climb desert rocks and a lot more.:) If you are looking for going in the desert choose them.
The perfect day in Wadi Rum

5.00We did 2h jeep tour and overnight at the camp plus breakfast. Our host/ guide tour was so nice awesome and sweet : Mohamed is super cool, good person to spend a day with. He knows all the spot as we live there. The sunset is magic you feel like in the movie and peacefull at the camp with all the stars. We recommand to go with the Dream Team and yes you will have the best time at the desert. We were two girls and it was safe for us so family, groupe of friends or solo traveler : Everyone will be well welcome with this peaceful team
Wothwhile and authentic Bedouin experoence!

5.00The stay at Desert Dream Camp Wadi Rum was a great and authentic experience. The tents are cosy and the dinner tent is decorated with nice carpets and pillows. Eating dinner as well as sitting at the warming fire (real desert experience: nights can get cold) is considered a very social event and offers the opportunity to chat with locals. In case of questions you were always helped by the owner Bakhir and staff.
Memorable night in an amazing valley with nice people.

5.00Beautiful landscape, sunset and amazing night sky view. We felt like part of the host family, stayed around the fire at night and had dinner together. Everything is authentic, but with great wi-fi connection ;-) The food was excellent, very tasty.
Amazing experience!

5.00We stayed overnight in the camp, went to watch the sunrise and then did the 2 hour 4WD tour. Badhir and Rashed were so accommodating and did a wonderful job. They cooked a traditional meal and we spent the night socialising with music and dancing. The camp was clean and well looked after. Our tour was perfect, informative and fun! Highly recommend this company😊
An amazing experience!

5.00Bakhir and his team are really nice and friendly people. We had a great 2 days in the desert. We went for 2 hikes and they were great too. The camp site was basic but is very clean and they had hot shower! For the price we were very happy and got the complete Bedouin experience!
