Wadi Mujib Siq Trail Tour
About This Tour
The Mujib Siq Trail is the most exhilarating few hours you can spend in Jordan. From the visitor center on the Dead Sea highway — already 410 meters below sea level, making Mujib the lowest nature reserve on Earth — you wade straight into the river between sandstone walls that rise a sheer kilometer overhead. The canyon narrows, the water deepens, and soon you are pulling yourself up rope-assisted cascades and sliding down natural water chutes polished smooth by millennia of flow.
The trail culminates at a thundering waterfall deep inside the siq, where the walls glow amber in the filtered light and the pool below is perfect for a triumphant swim. The route back down is half hike, half water-slide — most guests arrive laughing and completely soaked. Life jackets are provided and mandatory; no technical skill is needed, just reasonable fitness and a sense of adventure. The trail runs April to October (closed in winter due to flash-flood risk) and pairs beautifully with a restorative float in the Dead Sea afterwards, ten minutes up the road. This is the adventure everyone talks about at dinner.
