A dark, shadowy chasm cutting through Jebel Um Ashreen, the Raqaba Canyon or Um Ejil as it's known to the Bedouin, is a scrambling route traversed at the beginning of the Wadi Rum Trail. It begins with a walk up the broken black skirts of Jebel Um Ashreen to a band of low red cliffs, which are scrambled up to a small, stony plateau. This is crossed to enter the chasm of Um Ejil, where a traverse of smooth, sloping ledges on the left side of the chasm represent the first difficulty. The main obstacles following this are two short, steep down scrambles. Hikers emerge in the sweeping sands of Wadi Um Ashreen after crossing Um Ejil, which is traversed south to a sandy basin at the foot of another massif, known as Um Ghatheeya. Hikers continue over this basin to a low, rocky pass, where an intricate, little-known scrambling route leads up to the left over the high parts of Um Ghatheeya. A short but steep, awkward scramble is involved up a narrow gully, similar in difficulty to the scrambling in Um Ejil, after which it is mostly a rugged walk over Um Ghatheeya's high parts to the sandy wadi of El Khorj. With the exception of Jebel Birda, only short, easy-angled sections of scrambling are involved on the route before Jebel Um Adam. The route to Jebel Um Adami's summit involves straightforward scrambling on big ledges at the beginning, after which it is mostly a walk to the top. Getting down the crest of the west ridge counts as a rugged walk with some scrambling over large boulders. The main difficulty on Jebel Um Adami comes when descending Wadi Um Adami to the north; two high waterfall drops are found in its bottom course which are usually bypassed with a short but exposed traverse on sloping ledges to the left, which feels similar to the first traverse in Um Ejil.
