Adams was educated at Sevenoaks School, an independent school in the town of Sevenoaks in Kent, followed by the University of York, where he studied English.

After two years spent teaching English in Yemen, Adams began his journalism career freelancing for local papers in the United States, while road-tripping across the country. In 1989, he joined the BBC's Arabic service, based in London. Later that year, Adams moved to Jerusalem as the BBC's world service correspondent.
