  • Wadi Mugib - The biblical Arnon Beautiful canyon with water all the year
  • This is the only canyon generally known to newcomers to Jordan. it is under the authority of the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature who organises regular visits there, which are strictly controlled and supervised. It is a strenuous trek, with black cliffs 200 meters high, waterfalls and rock pools. It is perhaps a pity that this gorge, so much visited compared to the others, has no section with the lush growth and hanging gardens of - for instance - Wadi Kerak. You would need ropes and abseil equipment which are supplied by the RSCN, and are included in the price (not cheap!). It is necessary to book ahead of time and places on the trip are in great demand. The entrance is at the Dead Sea Mujib Bridge. Text and photos from Jordan Jubilee by "Ruth"
