What you'll do

Climbers from all over the world dream about climbing the sandstone peaks of the Wadi Rum area – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – but few of them have the occasion of transforming that dream into reality. The remarkable historical heritage, a warm climate, off-the-beaten track climbing routes, and extremely hospitable locals are just some of the many features that make Jordan a unique and authentic rock climbing destination. Prepare to dive into the unknown for a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the precious support and competence of the Bedouins of Wadi Rum – your guides for the trip – who have decade-long history and expertise in climbing in the country.


Itinerary

Jump on the plane along with your fellow Mapo Tapo climbers and be ready to land in Amman –the Jordan city capital. We recommend arriving the day before, just to rest a bit after the long travel and be ready to start the trip the day after. If you arrive the first day, you must arrive by 1pm - The transfer to Wadi Rum Camp will depart at 2 pm. Together we sightsee the breathtaking Jordan landscapes until the first meeting point is reached: Bedouin Outdoor Camp.
After spending the night in the Bedouin camp, the sport-climbing can begin! We're off to experience some of the best crags of the Wadi Rum protected area, inaccessible without the precious guidance of the local Bedouins. After a full day of climbing, we're back to the camp, where we can shower, eat and drink some tea, resting for the next day.
Be ready to follow the legendary Bedouin Road. You will hike and scramble your way through Jebel Burdah following the Bedouin hunting route, up to the famous rock bridge. Later you will set out camp and bivouac in the desert under the stars.
Good morning desert! We're off again for another adventure. We head back to the Wadi Rum camp and we're off for another climbing activity of the day.
On our way to Amman, we make sure to have a proper hike and tour in Petra – one of the “7 New Wonders of the World”. At night, we sleep in the Jordan capital.
After a good night's sleep and a warm shower, we're off to the airport, in time to catch our flights back home. We recommend leaving in the afternoon after 4 PM.

Amazing experience with super friendly guides (Alessio and Suleiman) and co-guest! The scenery was magic and with the guys there, not only we saw and climbed the top routes, but the whole adventure, with the camp in the desert and the skies full of stars and the tea was once in a lifetime.

The trip to Jordan was very well organised by Mapo Tapo and all the group were super friendly. It really felt like a group of friends together! The activities were really cool and the climbing was amazing. The desert was so beautiful and the local guide Suleman was so funny and kind. The first day in Wadi Rum was a scramble but I felt a bit sick because of the heat. I think we should have gone more slowly but everyone was very understanding and helped me by carrying my pack which did help a lot.

Amazing time spent in an incredible place focused on climbing and enjoying nature and sport. i spent one week in Wadi Rum desert in jordan, the group was great, we slept in tents in the desert, went climbing and scrambling in a well organized trip without useless redundancies. totally suggested!

Alison (Apr 2022)

I am an experienced climber and usually organise my own trips, so when my climbing partner suggested this trip to Jordan I was not sure what to expect. It was great not to have to worry about the logistics and the local guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The climbing was excellent and there was plenty to do at all grades. The scrambling and desert bivouac were brilliant and the scenery was spectacular.
