Meeting each other
We meet each other at Wadi Rum Rest House then we leave Rum village to go out into the desert.
In the morning
By jeep, we drive to Jabal Burdah. We start our hike to the Burdah rock bridge from the north side. The Burdah rock bridge is the highest rock bridge in Wadi Rum. It is one of the most spectacular sites in Wadi Rum. The climb is technically not that difficult. But note that it is not a fit for those who are unsure on their feet or afraid of heights. In some places, you might want to use your hands to scramble up. And close to the bridge are the most difficult areas. At the top, you have a fantastic view of the red desert. After taking the time to enjoy the views, we head back.
Lunchtime
We drive to a nice, quiet and shady place where we take a few hours break. We prepare a Bedouin meal for you. After we finish our lunch, there is time to take a rest or walk around to explore the area on your own.
In the afternoon
We start the afternoon with a beautiful drive to Lawrence house. After a short stop, we drive to the surprisingly green and narrow Abu Khashaba canyon. You walk through the canyon in about half an hour. We continue our tour to Um Fruth rock bridge. You can climb this bridge and enjoy the views of this part of Wadi Rum desert. Our last stop is Um Sabatah where we watch the sunset.
