Tony Howard’s Cicerone guide to Treks & Climbs in Wadi Rum, Jordan details is one of the few guides dedicated to exploring the outdoor opportunities in the country. Wadi Rum is located in the south of Jordan, close to the Red Sea port of Aqaba & is particularly remote, despite being only a five hour flight & short onward journey from Europe.

Recently updated in 2007, the guide describes routes in Jebel Rum Massif, Jebel Um Ishrin Massif, Barrah Canyon Area, the Massif of Khush Khashah & Khazali, Burdah & the Domes of Abu Khsheibah, Outlying areas north & south of Rum & Petra.
