1D/1N: Hiking Tour – Jabal Al-Hash
Hike Jabal Al-Hash with a local bedouin guide
If you are looking for an easier way to enjoy Wadi Rum on foot, we suggest that you first hike Jabal Al-Hash. At the top, you can get a great view of the desert and mountains. After lunch, enjoy more hiking in the Siq Al Noughra canyon. Then see natural rock formations and nearby sand dunes. A local bedouin hiking guide will accompany you. And you will enjoy an overnight stay with meals at the Escape camp. If you would like to spend the night in a desert bivouac during this tour, we offer this as an extra service as well.
