Tour Program

Follow the route of our Burdah Arch hike and jeep tour in Wadi Rum, from the morning climb to one of the desert’s highest rock bridges to the afternoon jeep tour, sunset stop, and overnight stay.

Morning
We meet in Rum Village before starting the day’s adventure. From there, we drive to Jabal Burdah Arch, the highest rock bridge in Wadi Rum, where the morning is dedicated to the hike. From the top, you get wide panoramic views across the desert. The climb is not technical, but it does require good footing, steady balance, and confidence on exposed rock. This part of the tour takes most of the morning.

Lunchtime
After the hike, we stop in a quiet desert spot to rest and enjoy a freshly prepared Bedouin lunch. It is a good break after the climb and a chance to slow down before continuing the tour.

Afternoon
After lunch, the jeep tour begins. We visit Red Sand Dune, Lawrence’s House, Abu Khashaba Canyon, Umm Fruth Rock Bridge, and Mushroom Rock. Later in the afternoon, we continue to Umm Sabatah, one of the best sunset spots in Wadi Rum.

Night
In the evening, you spend the night either at camp or under the stars, depending on the option you choose. Dinner is served by your guides, and the night is a chance to relax, enjoy the desert atmosphere, and learn more about Bedouin life, stories, and traditions.

The Next Morning
Breakfast is served around 7:00 AM. After breakfast, you have time to prepare your backpack and enjoy your final moments in the desert before we drive back to the village at around 8:30 AM. If you choose a camel ride at the end of the tour, your return will be later, usually around 9:30 AM for a 1-hour ride or around 10:30 AM for a 2-hour ride.
