Experience Jordan Adventures Wadi Mujib Siq Trail Hiking
SPLASH & HIKE IN WADI MUJIB.
A self-guided hike on the Siq Trail: 2-3 hours of climbing, splashing, hiking, sliding, and jumping through a stunning gorge! Follow the course of the river between towering sandstone cliffs to the base of a large waterfall.
Notes: This canyon is managed by The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) - an independent national organization. Therefore, there will be no group/personal guide. There will be a few lifeguards throughout the canyon, there are signs, and it's a straight canyon, so it's always clear where to go. However, you will be given a life jacket and you can ask questions before you start the hike.
