Itinerary
A genuinely remote and wild place, Wadi Mujib - the lowest nature reserve on earth - is a gorge that extends to the eastern shore of the Dead Sea 90 km (56 mi) south ofAmman. The landscape of harsh sandstone mountains, desert and plateaus is intersected by steep cliffs and gorges, with a lake at the bottom of the wadi where a dam has been built. The reserve contains over 300 species of plants, 10 species of carnivores, and numerous species of resident and migratory birds. Siq Trail This water hike takes you into the main gorge of theMujibRiver(the Siq). It starts at the visitor center near theMujibBridge, from where you take the cantilevered walkway over the dam and follow the course of the river between towering sandstone cliffs to the base of a large waterfall. Depending on seasonal rainfall levels, the gorge may contain pools deep enough for swimming. Despite being relatively easy, it does have hidden risks. Always take care along the walk, avoid pools and rapids and respect any rope barriers
