Burdah Rock Bridge

Definitely a lot more spectacular versus Um Frouth and a lot less people, because the climb up there wasn’t exactly easy, it was a really fun climb tho! I read that you could follow the arrows and get to the top but thankfully we took a guide because I could hardly spot any arrow and there wasn’t really a visible trail to follow. Should also not have a fear of heights to climb this route. There are some ropes on some parts of the climb but I’m not sure I’ll want to put too much faith in these so definitely use with lots of caution!

The best place to visit in Wadi Rum. We were the only tourists in a whole day in July. Not an easy hike, in total 3 hours of climbing during hot, sunny day. Definitely remember to take water with you, especially in summer. Also keep looking for arrows on the way, we managed to get lost while going down.

We only saw the burdah rock bridge from down the valley on the opposite side. You can see it on the picture. Having done a lot of hiking in wadi rum I am sure it is an amazing hike to do but it will require ~3 hours during the day so if you can accommodate it I strongly recommend the hike rather than the picture from down the valley.

Spectacular 360 degree vistas of the vast desert. Path up is not marked well, so having a local guide is a must, but the hour and a half trip to the top is well worth the views. Plan to spend some time at the top in the shade of a rock and just enjoy God's creation for a bit.

Wadi rum and Burdah rock bridge are one of the most beautiful place in world!! You can chose challenge climbing or easy walk between the amazing rocks and dunes. Perfect!

Beautiful place and just so memorable.

It takes some time and effort to reach the top, but the amazing view will be your prize for every step you made. Have to be careful when crossing the rock bridge, it's windy and it's very high. When I came there 6 years after my 1st climb and see it from the bottom of the rock, I was even more happy to know I was there on the top once! 😃👣

This rock arch is not for the faint hearted but truly rewarding :) A local guide is a must. He will also take cool pictures once you get on the arch. Previous hiking experience is a must, scrambling or rock climbing - very helpful. My husband and brother went up and down in 1h 50min, Our guide mentioned in average it takes 2,5h. I stayed to watch on the ground, yet it is quite high up so be very attentive to spot a moving dot (a person) on the arch from the ground. They said it was a memorable climb :)
