Guides for climbing in Wadi Rum
At the moment the only guide offering technical climbing here is the very young Mohammed Hammad. He has climbed with a number of foreign guides, mostly French ones, and has climbed with them in France. His website is at http://www.bedouinguides.com phone 00 962 777 359 856.
If you want to climb any of the "Bedouin Roads" (see lower down) which are the ways to reach the summits of a number of the mountains here, several guides are available. Most of them work with Attayak Aouda at www.rumguides.com and if you want to climb Jebel Rum or Jebel Khazali, among others, you should get in touch with him. Most of these routes can be climbed in hiking boots, but a rope is usually carried. These routes are an enjoyable mixture of scrambling and climbing, and most of them are within the grasp of anyone with some mountain experience. Some of them are harder than others, and several of them involve abseiling.
