Best adventure day trip in Jordan

Our day trip was to Wadi Hidan, and was one of the best “hikes” I’ve ever been on. The entire day consists of walking down a wadi which is more like a large exciting river than anything else. The variation is great, you are either walking alongside the river, swimming through it, sliding down waterfalls on your back, repelling down the side of them or cliff jumping down as you progress throughout the day.

There are so many positive things to write about for this trip. But they all seem to come down to simply how great our guide, Ayman was. He was extremely fun to spend the day with and gives off a great vibe. He was also knowledgeable about the area and had some great anecdotes that he shared with us on the drive down from Amman. He is also extremely safety concious which is great, insisting you be safe rather than sorry. For example he doesn’t encourage you to jump from heights that you don’t feel comfortable doing.

It turns out Ayman is also quite the chef. As we neared the end of the hike we settled down in front of a gorgeous setting of a waterfall and cliffs, and seemingly out of no where Ayman whipped out his wok, started a fire and cooked us up a storm. Great food.

Another great feature is that Ayman has a camera strapped to his chest the entire time, so we were left with some awesome action shots and fantastic memories to take home with us.

A great day – I highly recommend it to everyone, and will most certainly return for more.
