Weather of Arabia - This question comes to the mind of the Jordanian citizen daily, especially in the winter and when approaching any depression that may carry snow! But has it really crossed your mind what is the highest inhabited point in the kingdom? And what is the lowest?
Many of you know that Umm al-Dami mountain and its summit, which rises 1,856 meters above sea level, which Saudi Arabia granted recently in the 1990s according to the last demarcation of the border between the two countries, is the highest in Jordan. Umm al-Dami is located within the pink mountain range of Wadi Rum in the far south of the Kingdom.
Jabal Mubarak, whose summit is 1,727 meters above sea level, is considered the highest inhabited peak in Jordan. In winter, this summit is characterized by very cold weather, where the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius on many nights, and snow forms most of the precipitation that is already limited in that region.
