Weather of Arabia - Mujib Biosphere Reserve is considered the lowest natural reserve in the world, as it is located in the deep Mujib Valley, a little east of the Dead Sea, and at a depth of up to 410 meters below sea level. The reserve, with its charming natural landscape, extends to the Karak and Madaba mountains, north and south, and in some places its height reaches 900 meters above sea level. Wadi Mujib has an amazing biodiversity that is still being discovered and documented today, as a result of its differences in altitudes of up to 1,300 meters and the flow of water in the valley throughout the year from seven tributaries. More than 300 genera of plants and ten genera of animals have been documented, in addition to many species of migratory and non-migratory birds. The reserve, especially in remote and inaccessible areas in the mountains and valleys, is a safe haven for rare species of cats, goats and mountain animals. The sandstone slopes of Wadi Mujib are an ideal habitat for one of the world's most important mountain goat species: the Nubian ibex.

 

 

Siq Pass

The trail begins at the Mujib Adventure Center where you will take the skywalk, following the course of the river between two large sandstone rapids, all the way to the base of a large waterfall. The narrow valley may include a deep pool suitable for swimming, depending on the seasonal rain levels that year. The place is ideal for escaping the summer heat and enjoying the shade and cool water.

This activity is only available in summer and depends on the weather condition.

 

Waterfall trail

The trail starts from Mujib Adventure Center on the Dead Sea Road all the way to the south (starting point). You are accompanied on the tour by a trained and attentive guide. After entering the narrow canyon gorge, you will reach the top of a stunning 20m high waterfall. After descending the waterfall, the walk continues along the Siq Trail to the Mujib Adventure Center.

This activity is only available in summer and depends on the weather condition.

 

Al Malaqi corridor

The route starts at Mujib Adventure Center on the Dead Sea Road all the way to the south (starting point). The route takes you upstream to the confluence of the Mujib River and the Hidan River, where you will swim in natural pools before descending to a 20-meter-high waterfall, under the supervision of a trained guide. Next, you will continue along the Siq Trail to Mujib Adventure Centre.

This activity is only available in summer and depends on the weather condition.

 

Body path

The trail starts from the Mujib Adventure Center on the Dead Sea Road before starting to descend into the reserve. The corridor continues south along the Dead Sea, and a wonderful natural painting of the blue of the sea accompanies you throughout your tour. After that, you will continue the walk, passing through a number of dry valleys and Al-Radas station, where you may encounter the Nubian ibex (Al-Badun). The place is also famous for containing the rock statue of Lot's wife. After resting at the station, the road continues for about an hour.

This activity is only available in summer and depends on the weather condition.

 

Al-Haydan path

Starting from the visitor center, the trail runs from southwest to northeast. You will swim from one pool to another until you reach the end point where the old wheat mill is.

 

Sliding on the rope

Mujib Biosphere Reserve has provided zip lining by installing two parallel cables, allowing two people to slide together. The length of the rope is 100 metres, while the slide is about 9 metres, and extends with the Mujib Bridge from its starting point in the visitor center all the way to the other side of the valley.
