Experience Jordan’s spectacular Wadi Mujib River canyon on this 5-hour hiking experience from Amman, with round-trip transport. Travel to this towering sandstone gorge in the Mujib Nature Reserve near the Dead Sea, and take the easy-to-moderate hike along the” Siq Trail” through the cliffs to a waterfall. Relish the beauty and peace of the steep-sided ravine; watch for wildlife; and be ready to wade through occasional waist-deep pools on route.

Detailed itinerary

Start at 8 am, you will be picked up from your hotel in Amman by your private leisure air-conditioned vehicle and taken to the Mujib Bridge by your English-Speaking Driver. Enjoy the drive and pass by the beautiful scenery to reach Wadi Mujib.

The most amazing breath-taking gorge in Jordan at 400 meters below sea level. The Wadi Mujib Reserve is the lowest natural reserve in the world, located in the mountainous landscape to the east of the Dead Sea, approximately 90 kilometers southwest of Amman. The trail is graded easy to moderate and starts at the visitor’s center. A self-guided trekking tour, where you will follow the course of the river towards the dam. Once the waterfall and gorge are reached, you will be able to enjoy a swim depending on the season rainfall levels. This is an ideal walk to take slowly and enjoy the cool water shade, especially in the heat of the summer, after this amazing unforgettable easy – moderate hiking experience! Walk towards your car that is waiting for you, as you will be taken for a short panoramic tour in Amman and then returned to your hotel by your own private vehicle.

Optional Dead Sea visit to swim and lunch in the world’s first natural spa and lowest point on earth. Free time at the Dead Sea to enjoy the private facilities: Pool, and beach to swim. The Dead Sea, sitting at 1,412 feet (430 meters) below sea level is a glittering inland sea containing extraordinarily high levels of salt and minerals, that offers up an incredible experience: the chance to float rather than swim and to use its natural body mud. Wade in to experience a short floating session from the beach: it’s an unforgettable sensation!

Please note customers must be at least 18 years old, know how to swim, and be in good physical condition. This tour is not recommended for clients with health problems.
