Wadi Mujib Tourism

Type of destination: Nature Reserve/Canyon

Ideal visit duration: Half a day to Full day

Wadi Mujib, referred to as the 'Grand Canyon of Jordan', is a magnificent gorge in Jordan which enters the Dead Sea at 410 meters below sea level. The reserve extends to the Kerak and Madaba mountains to the north and south, featuring a spectacular array of cliffs reaching 900 meters high. This majestic natural wonder is renowned for its rugged and wild beauty. It was created by water erosion from the Mujib River, which is also responsible for the deep ravines and thrilling cliffs that characterize the area. The reserve is a biodiversity hotspot that hosts a unique range of plant and animal species adapted to its semi-aquatic and arid habitat. Adventurers and nature lovers visit Wadi Mujib for its hiking trails, some of which require swimming through streams and waterfalls. The most famous trail is the Siq Trail, leading hikers through a narrow canyon filled with water to a waterfall. Safety measures are in place, but the ruggedness and seasonal changes in water levels demand respect for nature's power.
