🏞️ Wadi Mujib: Your Ultimate Guide to Canyoning in Jordan

Often called the “Grand Canyon of Jordan”, Wadi Mujib is one of the country’s most thrilling natural wonders. Located near the Dead Sea, the Mujib Biosphere Reserve plunges more than 1,300 meters below sea level, making it one of the lowest nature reserves in the world.

With its towering sandstone cliffs, flowing streams, and lush ecosystem, Wadi Mujib offers an adventure like no other — from water hikes to waterfalls and eco-tourism experiences.

Q: Which trail is the highlight?
A: The Mujib Siq Trail is the most popular. It combines hiking, climbing, swimming, and floating downstream — ending at a spectacular waterfall.

• Duration: ~1.5 to 2.5 hours round trip

• Difficulty: Moderate (requires fitness and comfort in water)

• Age: 18+ only

👉 Pro tip: Visit on weekdays for a quieter experience — weekends are popular with locals and expats.

Other Trails
Two advanced canyon routes require a guide and prior reservation. These are perfect for seasoned adventurers looking for off-the-beaten-path challenges.

🔹 How Difficult Is the Mujib Siq Trail?

Q: Is the Siq Trail suitable for everyone?
A: The Siq Trail is moderately challenging. Expect slippery rocks, climbing sections, and strong currents. It is not suitable for children or those with limited mobility.

👉 Pro tip: Good physical fitness and comfort with water activities are essential.

🔹 What to Wear & What to Bring

Q: What should I wear?
A: Quick-dry clothing or swimwear with non-slip water shoes. Diving shoes work best — regular sneakers collect pebbles and get heavy.

Q: What gear is provided?
A: A life jacket is included in your entrance fee. Waterproof bags and water shoes can also be purchased at the entrance (≈10 JOD each).

Q: Can I store my belongings?
A: Changing rooms, toilets, and showers are available, but no lockers. We recommend leaving valuables with your driver — all My Fairy Trail drivers are trusted and experienced.

👉 Pro tip: Bring a waterproof phone pouch for photos — and leave hats at home, the current may sweep them away!

🔹 Is Wadi Mujib Family-Friendly?

🔹 Eco-Tourism & Conservation

Wadi Mujib is part of the Mujib Biosphere Reserve, managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). The reserve protects rare wildlife, plants, and the canyon ecosystem.
