3.Wadi Mujib Siq Trail Private Hiking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 36 reviews · 5 hours · from $146

Hike Jordan’s Wadi Mujib Siq Trail from Amman with private transport, canyon pools, waterfall views, and an English-speaking driver.

“The activity itself is incredible and a real must anyone visiting Jordan. Lots of fun and just about the right level of physical challenge. The guide's role is quite limited - mainly just transportation from Amman to Wadi Mujib and return - and was absolutely fine in good quality vehicle driven safely. I gave four stars for 'value for money' as was on my own so the overall price was quite expensive (although in line with other operators for this package) but this would obviously change for a group booking when the price per person is significantly lower. Wouldn't let it put me off going again though - great experience!”

“Munther was our guide for today and was absolutely incredible. He was prompt to answer our messages, picked us up at our hotel, gave us the rundown of the day and the options we had (we opted for free salt beach on the way to the hike and he even bought us large water bottles to rinse off the salt so we didn’t need to pay for a shower), and led us on our hiking tour. The canyon is beautiful and definitely for those seeking an adventure. You will get wet so make sure to have a waterproof phone case or leave everything in the car. Munther did have a…”
