Details
As of May 2022, the entry fee to Wadi Rum was 5JD/person. The alternative to paying the entrance fee is to buy a Jordan Pass. If you get the Jordan Pass before you arrive in Jordan, your US visa fee ($56 US) is waived and the Jordan Pass allows access to places like Petra, Shobak Castle, etc.
At the Wadi Rum entrance complex is a Tourism Police office. If you are climbing at Wadi Rum, you are supposed to register with the police and give them a photocopy of your passport. Bringing a spare photocopy to give them saves some time, as they don't have a photocopier of their own.
Description
Approach from nearby Obeid's Camp.
Pitch #1: Very sculpted and featured rock protected with many natural threads and slings. Nice movement on a long pitch to an obvious ledge. 5.8, 40m.
Pitch #2: Continue up the now more forgiving rock to the rim. 5.7, 30m.
Location
This is on the crag immediately behind and in close proximity to Obeid's Bedouin Camp. 5 minutes to the East walk from camp. No fixed protection was placed on the FA and after reaching the rim of the cliff, we walked off.
Protection
No fixed protection. Trad rack with extra slings helpful.
