Itinerary description
|
Bedouin route that starts from the town of Wadi Rum and surrounds Mount Jebel Um Ejil through the Rakabat canyon and descends through the Kharazeh canyon.
Very important notice! The recorded track will not be helpful to follow since it runs through canyons and is not reliable at all. There are milestones along the route and marks on the stones, but as there are approaches to marked climbing routes, there may be confusion and you may end up completely lost. To descend the canyon you have to do two rappels, one of them 45 meters. In the Rakabat canyon you have to climb and declimb grade II+, some areas of adhesion and also steps with some exposure. It is a route of great beauty through the canyons where it runs, and interesting due to its adventure aspect.
