Wadi Mujib

Wadi Mujib is Jordan's counterpart to America's Grand Canyon, stretching 70 kilometers from the Desert Highway to the Dead Sea. The four-kilometer-wide and one-kilometer-deep river canyon provides nature enthusiasts with the opportunity to witness a variety of animals, including Egyptian vultures, Nubian ibex, striped hyena, and Syrian wolf.

If you don't mind getting a bit wet, trekking through the Wadi Mujib gorge is a terrific option. You may also visit the Mujib Reserve Biosphere, which is only an hour and a half from Amman, to relax in beautiful hot springs.

Wadi Mujib is a canyoning journey unlike any other, and it is unquestionably one of the greatest ways to see Jordan's Dead Sea. Those searching for a one-of-a-kind pit stop along The King's Highway may stop at the gorge to soak in the breathtaking views below.
