FAQ

Questions & Answers

Everything you might want to know before booking the Umm Ad Dami hike.

How difficult is the hike?

It's a steady, non-technical ascent with a little scrambling towards the top. A good fitness level is required, but no climbing experience is necessary.

What is included in the price?

All meals (breakfasts, lunches, Zarb dinners), Bedouin tea, local guides, 4x4 jeep transport, guided hike to the summit, and 2 nights in our desert camp.

Can I sleep outside instead of in a tent?

Yes! Sleeping under the stars near the camp is possible at no extra cost. You can also opt for an isolated wild bivouac camping experience.

Is the tour suitable for families with children?

The Umm Ad Dami hike is not recommended for young children due to the steep terrain and the length of the walk. We recommend our Jeep tours or the Jabal Al-Hash hike instead.

What is the best time for this tour?

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best weather and visibility conditions. However, we offer this tour year-round.
