Wadi Mujib
Jordan's 'Grand Canyon' and its famous siq trail
Often called Jordan's 'Grand Canyon,' the Mujib Nature Reserve drops dramatically from highland plateau to the shores of the Dead Sea. Its signature Siq Trail takes travelers wading and swimming through a narrow river gorge, finishing at a waterfall.
Why Visit
Wadi Mujib offers Jordan's best-known canyoning experience — a genuinely active, cooling adventure that contrasts with the country's desert and heritage sites, and is easily combined with a Dead Sea visit.
Highlights
- The Siq Trail — wading and swimming through the canyon to a waterfall
- Views over the Dead Sea from the reserve's upper trails
- Rich biodiversity within the Mujib Biosphere Reserve
- Additional trail options for varying fitness levels (seasonal, subject to reserve opening dates and water levels)
Suggested Experiences
- Suggested duration
- The Siq Trail typically takes around 2 hours round trip; check seasonal opening dates before planning, as the trail closes during winter flash-flood season.
