Burdah Rock Bridge
Jabal Burdah
A natural stone arch about 80 meters up on Jabal Burdah. The climb takes 1 to 2 hours and is the most thrilling half-day route in Wadi Rum.
Burdah Rock Bridge is one of the highest natural stone arches in Jordan. The arch spans about 35 meters and is visible from far away. To reach the top, you must scramble up the sandstone slope using both hands and feet, and some sections feel very exposed. It is strongly recommended to hire a Bedouin guide and bring plenty of water. The round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours. Visitors who do not climb can take photos from the foot of the mountain. The bridge is in the southeast of the reserve and requires a jeep tour of at least 6 hours or a full day.
