Um Frouth Rock Arch, located in the Wadi Rum desert, is a natural sandstone arch accessible via a moderate hike. While solo visits are possible for experienced desert hikers, a guided tour is highly recommended to navigate the terrain safely and enrich the experience with local knowledge. The best time to visit is during the cooler months (October to April) to avoid extreme heat. Expect to spend around 2-4 hours exploring the arch and the surrounding desert landscape. Costs vary depending on the tour operator but typically range from $50-$150 per person, including transportation and guidance. Accessibility is limited due to the desert environment, with some climbing involved to reach the arch; therefore, it may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues.
