Access Issue: Entrance fee required; you are also supposed to register with the Tourist Police if climbing 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

The Beauty is a classic route, and a great intro to climbing in the Rum. The approach is not that long, maybe an hour if you do it right, but quite involved. The climbing is all of high quality.

Pitch 1: Climb the beautiful corner. with laybacks and hand jams to a nice ledge with bolts.

Pitch 2: Interesting twin cracks lead to a one bolt belay, skip this and continue to stem upwards to a great ledge with two bolts.

Pitch 3: Some scary face moves protected by drilled pins right of the ledge, to easier climbing over some soft rock to a one bolt belay ledge under the off-width

Pitch 4: Squirm up the wide crack to a large ledge with bolts.

Rappel the route with two ropes. If you bring only one rope, you will have to rap off one bolt anchors in a couple spots.
