Jabal Umm ad Dami

Jabal Umm ad Dami reaches an elevation of 1,854 meters above sea level, creating a natural boundary between Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the Aqaba region.

The mountain has served as a geographical reference point for regional navigation and exploration since ancient times, marking important trade routes through the desert.

Local Bedouin communities have long used the mountain's distinctive silhouette as a navigation marker while traversing the surrounding desert landscapes with their caravans.

Visitors need to carry at least 3 liters of water, wear strong hiking boots, and start their ascent early in the morning to complete the climb before midday heat.

From the summit, climbers can observe both the Red Sea waters near Aqaba and vast stretches of Saudi Arabian territory extending toward the eastern horizon.
