- This canyon is managed by the RSCN, and there are a few lifeguards throughout the canyon. The hike is self-guided, there are signs, and it's a straight canyon, so it's always clear where to go.

Therefore on the day of this tour, we are mostly a car transfer service. We reserve the ticket ahead of time for you, and before the tour, we can answer any of your questions.

Jordan Valley Highway

3
Wadi Mujib Adventure Center
Our driver will arrange your tickets for you. Then get ready for an adventure in a spectacular narrow canyon between towering sandstone cliffs located in the lowest nature reserve in the world. You'll get a life jacket before entering the trail to Jordan's most well-known "Wet Wadi."
4
Swim & Hike to the Waterfall
This natural aquatic obstacle is course will require enthusiasm as you make your way through the canyon against the water current. To progress against the flow of water, you'll hike, swim, wade through the water, climb up ladders, and grab onto ropes to pull yourself forward. At the end of the 1km trail is a large waterfall where you can rejoice in your success of completing the challenge.
5
Return Float back to the Visitor's Center
The way back is much easier! Many people like to take the "lazy river" technique and float on their backs most of the way back to the Visitor's Center. Enjoy the environment around you and don't forget to look up at the stunning gorge.

Afterward, we will drive back along the Jordan Valley Highway to your starting location in Amman.

Seasonality
Wadi Mujib’s regular season is from April 1st through October 31.

However, the RSCN often shortens the season slightly if there is rain around the opening or closing days. Therefore depending on the weather, the opening and closing days may be shifted by a couple of days or weeks.

Opening Hours
Starting times: 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

We highly recommend arriving early before the crowds. Please note that if you arrive later in the day, there may be a line of people waiting, effectively selling out access to the canyon for the rest of the day.
