Burdah Rock Bridge – The Highest Natural Arch in Wadi Rum
Burdah Rock Bridge is one of the most iconic and breathtaking geological formations in Wadi Rum. It stands as the highest natural rock arch in the area, perched atop a towering sandstone mountain and offering panoramic views of the desert’s vast and dramatic landscape.
A 3-Hour Hiking Adventure
• The Route: The hike starts gently through open sandy terrain and gradually becomes more rugged as you move into rocky areas. At times, you’ll need to use your hands to scramble over rock sections and pass through narrow gaps.
• Difficulty Level: Moderate – suitable for anyone with basic fitness who enjoys walking and adventure.
• The Experience: The higher you go, the more incredible the views become. You’ll pass through narrow canyons, climb over wind-carved rocks, and eventually reach the stunning natural arch located approximately 80 meters high – taller than a 20-story building!
• The Reward: A 360° view over Wadi Rum’s red mountains and golden dunes – perfect for photos and moments of reflection in one of Jordan’s most magical spots.
What to Expect
• Most of the hike is done on foot, with light scrambling required in certain parts.
• You’ll navigate through small canyons and rocky passages that add a sense of adventure but remain safe under the guidance of an experienced Bedouin guide.
• Once at the top, you’ll have time to relax on the arch, enjoy a snack, and take in the fresh mountain air and stunning scenery.
