''Bedouin
whispers''
One
day by jeep and scrambling the Burdah Arch
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Burdah Arch is
deservedly one of the best known and the most
spectacular sites in Wadi Rum. It is situated about
300meters above the sand and the views from it are
magnificent. We include it in a number of our
scrambling tours, but this time we are also offering
it as an addition to our normal jeep tour. You will
lose a bit of the jeep tour, granted, but very
little.
As usual we start in the
village
and drive first to Lawrence's Spring and then to the
red sand dunes in Wadi Um Ishrin and to |

Jebel Anafishiya where
you can also see some Nabatean inscriptions. We
continue to the Barragh Canyon. Here we have lunch.
After lunch we proceed
to Jebel Burdah and climb to the Arch. We come in
from the back, and cross a rocky plateau before
reaching the Arch itself. The climb is not a hike -
you will need to use your hands over the rocks and
you will be happier if you have a fairly good head
for heights, but it is straightforward with no real
need for a rope. Any adult who is reasonably fit can
do this climb, but it is not suitable for children
under 16 years old The climb and the descent
normally take about 3 to 4 hours. The continuation
to the summit of the mountain is much more difficult
and is not included in this trip. |

When we come down we
shall usually return to the camp for supper at
our Bedouin
whispers camp , since it will
probably be close to sunset. In the summer, if we
have time we can call quickly at the Um Fruth
Bridge, but I think you will find it rather dull
after Burdah!
Footwear : the
boots are better here, but they are not essential.
Good walking shoes with cotton socks will do quite
well.
You will also need a rucksack or shoulder bag for
water, and such oddments as your camera, sunscreen,
a light sweater according to season and perhaps some
biscuits for a snack.
Price : for 2-3 people 60JD
per person, for 4 people or more 45 JD/person. This
includes all meals and sleeping equipment with jeep
.and scrambling guide .
Note : We offer discount to large
groups from 8 people and Travel Agencies
