2D / 2N Jeep Tour, and Burdah Bridge Hike
Wadi Rum hiking and jeep tour with a local bedouin
For travelers focused on a more challenging hike and scramble in Wadi Rum, this two-day tour is a great option. First you will have a jeep tour to the most interesting sites in the protected area. The next day will let you experience Wadi Rum from above. At Jabal Burdah you hike and scramble up to the natural rock arch. You will be rewarded by amazing views and the satisfaction of facing the challenge.
You have the option to sleep outside under the stars near the camp if you prefer not to sleep inside a private tent. This way, you still have access to the bathroom and you enjoy dinner at the communal tent. There is no extra charge for this, and we arrange the place for you to sleep outside nearby. Just let us know if you prefer one or more nights under the stars! It’s magical.
Or if you are even more adventurous, spend one or both nights in a desert bivouac during this tour. Learn more about this extra service for wild camping in our bivouac.
