Check availabilityBooking guided trails
The Canyon and Malaqi trails require an RSCN guide and minimum group sizes; book through RSCN in advance. The Siq Trail is self-guided — you pay at the visitor centre. Tours from Amman mostly cover transport and a guide for the Siq Trail.
What a Mujib hiking tour includes
Typically hotel pickup in Amman or at the Dead Sea, transport to the visitor centre, a guide for the Siq Trail, and sometimes the trail fee and a stop at a Dead Sea beach. Bring swimwear, water shoes and dry clothes. Tours run only in the wet-trail season and are cancelled if RSCN closes the canyon.
Independent visit checklist
- Check the trail is open (RSCN) the day before.
- Arrange a taxi or drive; there is no public transport.
- Arrive in the morning with swimwear, water shoes and a dry bag.
- Pay the RSCN fee at the visitor centre; the Jordan Pass does not cover it.
- Plan a swim or shower at a Dead Sea beach afterwards.

Check before you book
- Is the RSCN trail fee included? If not, budget JD 21 + 16% tax for the Siq Trail.
- Does the tour run only in the Siq season (usually April–October)? Out of season, the operator should offer the dry Ibex Trail or a refund.
- What happens if RSCN closes the trail on the day because of flood risk?
- Are life jackets, lockers and showers covered, and how long is the stop at the Dead Sea?
- What is the pickup time? Early starts beat the weekend crowds.
Booking RSCN guided trails
The Canyon, Malaqi and Ibex trails need an RSCN guide and sometimes a minimum number of participants. Book through RSCN's online booking or by contacting the reserve a few days ahead, more in peak months. Guided trails start early in the morning; you will be told the meeting time and what to bring. Fees in the Jordan Tourism Board list (Canyon JD 31, Malaqi JD 44, Ibex JD 21, each + 16% tax for foreign visitors, November 2026) may or may not include the guide — confirm when booking.
Frequently asked questions
Can I visit Wadi Mujib from the Dead Sea without a tour?
Yes — a taxi from the resorts takes about 30 minutes; agree a return time.
Do Wadi Mujib tours run in winter?
The Siq Trail tours only run in the wet-trail season (usually April–October). Panoramic tours with viewpoints and a Dead Sea stop can run all year.
Is a guide included on the Siq Trail?
The Siq Trail is self-guided; tours from Amman usually add a guide. The Canyon, Malaqi and Ibex trails require an RSCN guide.
What should I bring on a Wadi Mujib tour?
Swimwear under quick-dry clothes, water shoes with straps, a towel, dry clothes, sunscreen, water and a waterproof phone case. Tours usually provide life jackets through RSCN.
Can I combine Wadi Mujib with Petra in one day?
It is a very long day; better to do Mujib with the Dead Sea and visit Petra separately.
What happens if RSCN closes the trail on the day of my tour?
Reputable operators offer an alternative such as the dry Ibex Trail, a Dead Sea day or a refund. Ask about their policy before booking.
How long is a Wadi Mujib tour from Amman?
Typically 7–9 hours including the drive, 2–3 hours on the Siq Trail and sometimes a Dead Sea stop.
