Introduction

This is one of Jordan's most beautiful canyons, lush and exotic, with 5 waterfalls to rappel down – the highest at 25 meters – and a few other delightful surprises. The 9 km long canyon, with an average trek time of 7 to 8 hours, ends in the irrigated plains along the Dead Sea, near Ghor Hadita. Wetsuits recommended in winter.
