Jabal Umm Shumar

The fourth one in Top 5 Highest Mountains in Egypt that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Jabal Umm Shumar. Jabal Umm Shumar Mountain, with a height of 2,578 meters (8458 feet) , is Egypt's fourth highest point. The summit provides panoramic views of the Gulf of Suez and the entire country. The Gulf of Suez is a gulf located at the northern end of the Red Sea, west of the Sinai Peninsula. The smaller Gulf of Aqaba is located to the east of the Sinai Peninsula. The Gulf of Suez Rift basin, which dates back about 26 million years, was formed within a relatively young but now inactive Gulf of Suez Rift basin. Climbing to the top of Jabal Umm Shumar Mountain to see this gulf is an exciting experience for climbers.

Jabal Umm Shumar Mountain is located in a remote area and is best accessed from the town of St. Catherine. The mountain has several routes that are relatively easy to climb.

Gebel Umm Shomar, Jabal Umm Shawmar, or Jabal Umm Shūmar are all names for Jabal Umm Shumar.
