Rock Climbing in Wadi Rum

Climbing the sandstone cliffs of Wadi Rum: routes for beginners and experts, guides and gear.

Wadi Rum's vertical sandstone walls are a world-class playground for rock climbers. Routes range from easy single-pitch climbs to long multi-pitch classics like the famous Face of a Loom in the Jebel Rum massif.

Most visitors arrange a local guide and gear through climbing camps. Fitness and sunscreen are essential. Hikers-minded travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can pair a climbing morning with a jeep afternoon, and full package tours to Jordan can arrange guided climbing on request.
