I have places available on a guided trip to the desert climbing paradise that is Wadi Rum in Jordan. This is a world class trad climbing destination with routes of all grades. It is a suitable destination for any keen climber with a sense of adventure. In November there are direct flights from Gatwick to Aqaba with Easyjet. Aqaba is around 1 hours drive from Wadi Rum, meaning that we should be able to climb on everyday of the trip.
I climbed there many years ago and it's truly incredible. I did go to Petra after a week of climbing in Wadi Ram and it made me so angry that anyone would chip into the rock there, I was very unimpressed. Stay in Wadi Ram and count camels.
