Day 1 - Lunch Time: A Midday Feast Amidst Nature’s Beauty

We continue our journey deeper into the heart of the desert, navigating through breathtaking landscapes until we arrive at a serene and scenic location, perfect for a midday break. Here, your guide will prepare a freshly made traditional Bedouin lunch, offering you a taste of authentic desert cuisine. Savor dishes like zarb (underground barbecue) or mansaf, accompanied by refreshing mint tea. After enjoying your meal, take some time to unwind—whether by relaxing in the peaceful surroundings or venturing on a short walk to explore the beauty of the area at your own pace. This tranquil pause allows you to fully embrace the essence of the desert before we resume our adventure.

During the winter months, the shorter daylight hours require us to resume our journey immediately after lunch, ensuring we make the most of the available daylight. In contrast, during the summer season, we take an extended break after lunch, allowing time to rest and recharge while avoiding the intense midday heat. This pause provides an opportunity to relax in the shade or enjoy the tranquil desert atmosphere before continuing our adventure.

Day 1 - In the Afternoon: Exploring Wadi Rum’s Natural Wonders

Our afternoon adventure begins with a scenic drive to Mushroom Rock, a fascinating natural formation shaped by centuries of wind and erosion. After a brief stop to admire and photograph this unique landmark, we continue our journey through the golden sands of the yellow desert, where endless dunes stretch toward the horizon. Our next destination is the Burdah Rock Bridge viewpoint, where we pause to take in the breathtaking sight of this massive natural arch and the surrounding desert expanse. This iconic rock formation is one of Wadi Rum’s most impressive, standing as a testament to the raw beauty of the landscape. From there, we head toward Abu Khashaba Canyon, a narrow and unexpectedly lush passage that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding desert. This scenic canyon offers a refreshing 30-45 minute walk, allowing you to immerse yourself in its peaceful atmosphere. Since this is a walking-only trail, your guide will drive around the mountain to meet you at the canyon’s exit. We then continue to Um Fruth Rock Bridge, where adventure seekers can enjoy a short yet exhilarating scramble to the top of this striking rock arch. Standing atop the bridge offers a rewarding view of the surrounding desert, making for an unforgettable experience. As the day winds down, we make our way to Um Sabatah, the perfect vantage point to witness the sun dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of fiery orange and deep red—a breathtaking end to an incredible day.

Day 1 - The Overnight Stay: A Night Under the Desert Sky

For your night in the desert, we provide three unique accommodation options: a cozy tent at our camp, outdoor sleeping near the camp, or an open-air experience at our ‘cave’. You can explore the details of each option by visiting our accommodations page.

As the sun sets, we will take you to your chosen overnight location. Upon arrival at the camp, you will receive a brief introduction to the layout and operations before being shown to your tent or the designated outdoor sleeping area. If you opt for the cave experience, everything is naturally straightforward, offering a simple yet immersive way to connect with the desert.

A traditional Bedouin dinner will be served at both the camp and cave, allowing you to savor authentic flavors prepared in the heart of the desert. After dinner, the evening is yours to enjoy—whether by sitting with fellow travelers and guides to learn more about Bedouin culture, engaging in lighthearted conversations, or simply gazing at the endless night sky filled with billions of stars while embracing the serene desert silence.

Day 2 - In the Morning: Witness the Desert Awakening

Whether you choose to spend the night at our campsite or in the cave, witnessing the sunrise over the desert is an unforgettable experience. The first light of day slowly reveals the vast landscape, painting the dunes and mountains in shades of gold and orange. If you need recommendations on the best spots to watch the sunrise or the exact timing, feel free to ask—we are always happy to help.

At 7 AM, breakfast will be served, giving you time to enjoy a traditional meal and prepare for the exciting day ahead.

In the morning, we drive through the stunning desert landscape to reach the north side of Jabal Burdah. The highlight of our morning is the scramble up Burdah Rock Bridge, a thrilling yet manageable climb. While most of the ascent is straightforward, some sections require using your hands for support due to steep inclines, with the most challenging part located near the bridge. Throughout the climb, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views, and upon reaching the rock bridge, the panoramic scenery of central Wadi Rum is truly breathtaking. Take a moment to soak in the beauty before we make our way back down to the jeep.
