About this experience

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. After about an hour, reach the falls, enjoy the idyllic setting, and depending on rainfall levels, swim in the pools.
