Jabal Ram
Highest point of Jordan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jabal Ram is a mountain in Jordan. Most authorities give its elevation as 1,734 m (5,689 ft) above sea level. It was once thought to be the highest point in Jordan, but SRTM data shows that Jabal Umm al Dami is 1,854 m (6,083 ft)[1] above sea level and therefore higher.
