The Experience
The sun was barely up when we left Wadi Rum village, bouncing along in a jeep that rattled over sand and stone. The air felt cool—almost sharp—before the day’s heat kicked in. Our driver, Khaled, pointed out wild camels off in the distance and told us stories about his childhood here. After about an hour weaving through the quiet valleys of Wadi Saabit, we finally reached the foot of Jabal Um Ad Dami. It’s not crowded out here; just us, the wind, and a few birds overhead.
The climb itself isn’t easy, but it’s not too tough if you take your time. I remember stopping to catch my breath and noticing how the rocks changed color as the sun climbed higher—red to orange to almost white at the top. Our guide showed us tiny wildflowers poking out between stones (I’d have missed them). From the summit—1832 meters up—you can actually spot Saudi Arabia spread out below, and on a clear day there’s even a glint of the Red Sea far off. We sat for a while just soaking it all in before heading down to a shady spot where Khaled brewed sweet tea over a small fire and cooked lunch right there in the sand.
After eating (the chicken had this smoky flavor you only get from cooking over coals), we wandered around a bit more before piling back into the jeep. The drive back took us past more strange rock shapes and dunes that seemed to shift color every few minutes. We ended up at a Bedouin camp just as the sun started dipping low—the sky went pink and gold behind those huge cliffs. There was time for one last cup of tea before heading back to the village, tired but happy.
