Jabal Rum
جبل رم
A giant sandstone mountain west of Rum Village, the second-highest peak in Jordan and a classic route for climbing and hiking.
Jabal Rum rises to about 1,734 meters. Red sandstone sits on a granite base, and its eastern wall rises straight up from Rum Village, making it the symbol of the reserve. Most visitors admire it from the foot of the mountain or walk the short trails to Lawrence Spring and the Nabataean temple. To reach the summit, you must climb and hire a Bedouin guide. The round trip takes a full day. The mountain wall turns deep red at sunset, and you can enjoy the view from the village.
