Please
note
that
actual
trip
starts
at
the
Wadi
Mujib
Visitor
Center,
which
is
located
more
to
the
east,
very
close
to
the
Dead
Sea,
so
please
navigate
to
there.
In
May
2023,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
Wadi
Mujib,
a
spectacular
location
offering
unparalleled
natural
beauty
and
thrilling
adventure.
The
journey
started
from
Israel,
near
Beit
Shean
in
the
morning,
and
ended
just
as
the
day
was
wrapping
up.
For
those
with
a
fondness
for
adrenaline-filled
outdoor
activities
and
the
serenity
of
a
desert
backdrop,
the
Arnon
River
experience
is
truly
unrivalled.
This
adventure,
which
is
exclusive
to
individuals
18
years
and
older,
involves
a
moderately
challenging
hike,
climbing
against
the
water
current
and
tackling
small
cascades.
We
embarked
on
the
Siq
trail,
a
journey
that
takes
roughly
2-3
hours,
immersing
us
in
the
magnificent
spectacle
of
a
canyon
teeming
with
vibrant,
flowing
streams.
The
towering
canyon
walls,
adorned
in
shades
of
red,
brown,
and
yellow,
reach
up
to
100
meters,
at
points
almost
meeting
overhead
to
create
an
impressive
slot
canyon.
The
stunning
combination
of
the
brilliant
turquoise
river
and
the
multi-hued
walls
offers
a
sense
of
exploring
a
living
canvas
of
nature's
artwork.
While
navigating
the
trail,
the
water
level
often
varied,
sometimes
demanding
a
bit
of
swimming.
This
added
a
thrilling
dimension
to
our
experience,
making
it
more
akin
to
canyoning
rather
than
a
mere
hike.
It
was,
without
a
doubt,
one
of
the
most
enjoyable
and
visually
rewarding
canyoning
experiences
we've
undertaken.
Despite
our
visit
on
a
particularly
hot
day,
the
cool
water
and
the
shade
provided
by
the
tall,
encroaching
canyon
walls
ensured
a
pleasant
temperature
throughout.
The
trail
was
well-marked
and
straightforward,
eliminating
the
need
for
a
guide.
Conveniently,
ropes
are
already
fixed
at
necessary
points,
so
there's
no
need
to
bring
your
own.
Bear
in
mind
that
in
the
summer
months,
the
last
admission
to
Wadi
Mujib
is
at
3
pm.
We
wholeheartedly
recommend
this
incredible
canyoning
experience.
It
is
more
than
just
a
trip;
it
is
a
profound
encounter
with
the
awe-inspiring
wonders
of
nature.
