Wadi Rum Protected Area - Day 2

Welcome the morning in the desert. After breakfast, enjoy a full-day jeep tour with light trekking and hiking. Lunch will be served in the desert with water and tea provided. Dinner and overnight stay in the camp. If you wish, we can prepare comfortable mattresses outside for stargazing (all provided).

(Please note that the program might change due to weather conditions and group size.)

Here are some possible attractions you may visit (the guide will discuss the tour with you):

Burdah Rock Bridge - Jabal Burdah and its rock bridge are located in the southeast of the protected area. The 35-meter high rock bridge is one of the highest in the world and a spectacular sight. If you have vertigo, it’s best to admire it from the valley floor. For those who are reasonably fit, hiking and scrambling up to the bridge is highly rewarding. The journey takes about 1.5 hours and includes several great viewpoints. Jabal Burdah is home to various medicinal plants. From the rock bridge, you can enjoy incredible desert views.

Jebel Khazali - A narrow cleft in the center of Wadi Rum with Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as petroglyphs of humans, animals, and footprints.

Wadi Rum - Visit our sand dunes. The desert is dotted with both yellow and red dunes. The highest dune is in Wadi Um Ishrin, but we prefer the one near Khazali canyon. Climbing this dune is easy via the rocks on the side, and the views from the top are stunning. The intense red of the dune against the deep blue sky is a fascinating sight. In this blog, we explore more about dunes and share our top 5 most fabulous dunes.

Why are there dunes in Wadi Rum desert? Dunes are a natural phenomenon found in deserts and near beaches. They form with lots of loose sand, wind, an obstacle, and a dry climate. Wadi Rum has all these elements.

Wadi Rum - Um Fruth rock bridge. This is one of the most photographed spots in Wadi Rum. The bridge is about 15 meters above the desert floor. With guidance and possibly some assistance from your tour guide, the climb is manageable. However, it can be challenging for those with vertigo or minor limitations. The narrow bridge can also be tricky, but the views over the yellow mountains of Um Fruth are worth it. Even if you don’t climb the bridge, it’s still worth visiting.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - Little Bridge. This spot is easy to reach and offers a beautiful overview of the valley. It’s also a famous filming location for the blockbuster “Dune.”
