Does your heart beats faster from challenging obstacles and great heights? Then you don’t want to miss hiking the Burdah Mountain (1300 m), rewarding you at the top with one of the highest natural bridges in the world. Imagine standing on the bridge, feeling like you're on top of the world! The trail has a rocky mountain surface with some technically difficult areas that require scrambling and sometimes even climbing up steep surfaces.
Up in the mountain we enjoy a Bedouin tea, and back down your guide prepares a Traditional Lunch.
You will be well supported by an experienced guide. Climbing experience is not necessary.
Hiking up the Burdah mountain is our main focus, but we will also make a few other stops to show you more of the history and highlights Wadi Rum. We end the tour at Um Sabatah, the best place to watch the magical sunset.
OVERNIGHT
To get the full Wadi Rum experience you can add a night in our Bedouin camp, or sleep outside in the cave, under the stars.

Umm Fruth Rock Bridge - Next to the Burdah Bridge, this 15-meter-high bridge is one of the most famous bridges in Wadi Rum. Of course, the is not as challenging and impressive as the Burdah Hike, but it is a famous sight and still a fun adventure and a great place for pictures. Give your phone or camera to your guide who will stay on the ground and take an impressive photo of you on top of the bridge. The locals run up and down the bridge with ease, but for tourists it is a bit more challenging. That is why small holes have been made which makes the climb a bit easier.
