From the Rum village we go directly to Burdah Rock Bridge - also called Jabal Burdah or Burdah Arch. We drive through beautiful desert valleys for 30 minutes on our way. When you arrive, your guide will park his jeep down the mountain, you put your backpacks on and can start the hike straight away!
Burdah Bridge is famous for its 35m high natural arch formation. It is one of the highest arch structures in the world. The trek is 300 m above sea level which makes it an intermediate trek, you will be back in the car in less than 3 hours! In the afternoon, we show you some places of interest of Wadi Rum on a short jeep tour.
Around halfway in the tour, we have a nice lunch break and you can enjoy a freshly cooked meal prepared by your guide.
Next, we visit Abu Khashaba Canyon where your guide drops you on one side. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the other side and enjoy stunning views of the desert. If you are feeling like doing something more active - you can try sandboarding here!
Last place of your tour is one of the most impressive places in Jordan - The Um Frouth Bridge which is 25 meters high. You can climb into the top and take a unique picture by the side of the mountain.
After a long day filled with adventure, we take you to a beautiful place to admire the charming sunset.
