Experience Jordan’s spectacular Wadi Mujib River canyon on this 5-hour hiking experience from Amman, with round-trip transport. Travel to this towering sandstone gorge in the Mujib Nature Reserve near the Dead Sea, and take the easy-to-moderate hike along the” Siq Trail” through the cliffs to a waterfall. Relish the beauty and peace of the steep-sided ravine; watch for wildlife; and be ready to wade through occasional waist-deep pools on route. After about an hour, reach the falls, enjoy the idyllic setting, and depending on rainfall levels, swim in the pools. This tour includes a short Amman panoramic tour, and optional Dead Sea visit.

If you like outdoor activities, hiking, swimming, and waterfalls, then this is for you. The hike is 5km (3.1 miles) round trip. You begin at the mouth of the Majib river and hike through it through the river cut sandstone canyon and up the waterfall. After a good soaking in the cool, fresh water, you hike back out the way you came. Sandals, water shoes, or closed toed shoes you don't mind getting wet are recommended. Bathing suit is highly recommended as you will get wet - head to toe.
Upon our return to the visitor's center, we headed to the Dead Sea to bathe in the mineral waters. It does sting a little when you first get in... 1 out of 10 on a pain scale. After a bit, hop out, and cover yourself in the mineral mud for 10 minutes or more. Your skin will feel baby soft afterwards.
After our mineral soak, we had lunch. They had practically everything. Water is included. Any other drinks, including soda, are extra.
After lunch we went back to the hotel. Mahmoud, our driver, was most excellent and took care of us the whole way. We were for want of nothing. If you want food and restaurant recommendations for later in your visit to Amman, he is a wealth of information.

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was Sami. We have travelled all over the world but he is the best tour guide we have had. He showed us the beauty of Jordan and really took his time to get to know us as a couple. He took us to sites that were not on the itinerary and we ended the evening with the best Kunafe we have tasted. Thank you Sami and Zaid Tours!

If I could give 0 I would.
My flight was cancelled, and I didn’t know until 8 hours before the tour. Instead of being understanding and refunding me, they decided to tell me it was my fault that I was a no-show at the pickup, give me no refund, and also had the nerve to tell me they’d let me change the date but would charge me $50 more.

Absolutely worth doing during a trip to Jordan, very fun, done in August, we arrived around 11.30am and waited barely half an hour to enter, they sell absolutely essential rock shoes at the entrance and provide life jackets, even though when we were there the water was not particularly high; it's not really a walk and my wife and I stopped at the last waterfall just before the end, but for fear of trauma during the descent, while the children reached the end; swimsuit or shorts and t-shirt because you get completely wet, and any cell phones in waterproof bags, but not to be held in your hand because you need both arms

Super fun and must try experience. A life jacket and waterproof bag are provided, and if you don't have them you can buy rock shoes there. Recommended if you are fit enough because it is still quite tiring. You also have to be careful not to slip but along the route there are near the most difficult points that help you. On the way back you let yourself be carried by the current

the hike up was a bit of a challenge. not as hard as i feared. as a fat, 67 year old woman i did fine. i needed help on one waterfall but there were guides placed along the trail to assist. just a beautiful hike! now, at the turn around point, i was forced to slide down a rock into the pool below. i wanted to climb down the way i came up. i was not allowed. that pool just did not seem deep enough. the guide insisted so i did. i assumed he would not be telling me to do this if it were not safe. i ended up with two broken bones in my foot and a spiral fracture on my fibula. yes, i had to hike out that way. i did float where i could. i still had 4 waterfalls to climb down. a guide dragged me over rocks in some spots too shallow to float. and then i walked quite a bit as well. and oh that ladder to get out of the gorge! i am not sorry i went. i am sharing this so if you are not comfortable doing as directed, don't. know your limits.

This is a must do in Jordan. There are quite a few hiking trails in this region, this hike is the similar type as narrows in zion national park in the US, in that you hike through meandering water flow between a gorge, but that's where the similarity ends..!!
Incidentally I did the Narrows 2021 Sept, and the siq trail this year, also in Sept, both were on the same date, which I thought was weirdly coincidental!!
I will clarify this: I am scared of water depth(anything more than 4 feet) and I don't know how to swim, and I completed the trail. But it depends on when you are visiting. I went in september, so the preceding months did not have rain, which I think was reason enough on why I was able to complete it. But don't get me wrong, there were a few places where water was more than 6 feet deep, but they have made sure that they have really strong ropes nailed to the sides of the gorge which you can hold on to. The mandatory life vest also helped a lot.
Some pointers:
Recommend get there early, around 8ish. I reached there at 10, so had to wait for an hour or so because they ran out of life vests. And it got a little crowded in some places.
Lockers are available, if you bring your own lock. There were about 20 lockers there and I found a few available ones.
The waterproof bag(it is a bag within a bag concept) they offer is good. Not the best, but good. Please ask them for instructions on how to use them and follow those instructions. I had used it to store my phone, spare action camera batteries, wallet and cash( all stored inside a zip lock bag that I carried). When I opened it, I found a few droplets of water inside the outside bag, but none had gotten into the inside bag.
You need some upper body strength to pull yourselves up in some places using knotted ropes.
There are metal ladders that you have to use to climb up and down during the course of the hike. People are friendly, they readily give you a hand when you need it.
No, you do not need a guide to do this, I did it on my own.

The trail itself was brilliant though there was a 2 hr wait to start. This meant we didn't get taken to the Amman Citadel. The entry fee is 21JD per person and booking an organised tour doesn't avoid the queue to start. So it was an expensive taxi!!!!

On day one, we tried to hike at about 12 and we were going to have to wait an hour. We went the next day at 915-No wait and dryer ladders. They take credit card for the entrance fee. I paid cash for the shoes-worth it. A guide is helpful if you have short legs or aren’t very sure footed. The hike is totally with it. I recommend a guide to make sure that you complete it. Bring a lock to use the free lockers.
