Wadi Mujib: the Siq Trail, Price, Season and Booking (2026)
The Wadi Mujib Siq Trail is a water hike in a canyon, walking and swimming in the water up to a waterfall; it takes 2 to 3 hours. The 2026 rate from the RSCN, the reserve's operator, is 23 JOD per person for non-Jordanians, taxes included. The trail is self-guided and, according to the RSCN, needs no advance booking, and it generally opens from 1 April to 31 October depending on the weather. You must be 18.

Highlights
The narrow canyon
After the walkway over the dam, the river runs between sandstone walls; the water is cool, even in summer.
The waterfall
The Siq trail climbs to a big waterfall: you get there walking in the water, swimming and climbing with the help of ropes.
The Ibex Trail (winter)
From November to March the RSCN offers the Ibex Trail, a guided mountain trail of 3 to 4 hours, at 23 JOD, for 6 to 25 people.

Tips
- RSCN 2026 rates for non-Jordanians: Siq Trail (self-guided, 2 to 3 h) 23 JOD; Ibex Trail (guided, 3 to 4 h) 23 JOD. All taxes included. I found no mention of Wadi Mujib in the Jordan Pass: count this fee on top.
- The water trails are closed to under-18s. You need to swim and be reasonably fit; some sections use ropes. Check the water level and equipment (life jacket, shoes) at reception before setting off, and do not go if rain is forecast: flash floods are the main risk.
- Bring shoes that can get wet, swimwear, a towel, dry clothes and a waterproof bag for your phone. Showers are not guaranteed according to listings.
- Without a car, excursions from Amman or the Dead Sea cost more than the fee alone: about 88 to 115 USD in a group, 147 USD private (5 hours), up to 249 USD or more depending on the package; the entry fee is included in many.
- Combine with the Dead Sea and its hotel day passes, or with the Ma'in hot springs.
How to get there
The reserve is about 90 km south-west of Amman, on the Dead Sea road, near the Mujib bridge (about 1 h 15 to 1 h 30 from Amman). By car, see car rental. Also from Madaba and Amman. If you prefer to drive, you can rent a car for the day.
