REGION 3: AS-SALT TO WADI ZARQA MA’IN

  • Details

    From Al-Salt city, the trail leads past the Hellenistic palace of Iraq Al-Amir and descends along the dramatic King Hussein’s Rally Road into the Jordan Valley. Here, the climate shifts noticeably, becoming warmer and more arid as the path crosses plateau landscapes overlooking the Dead Sea and intersects with ancient Roman roads that once linked the northern shores of the Dead Sea with the fortress of Mukawir (Machaerus). The route then passes over a ridge before descending through the basalt cliffs and into the flowing waters of Wadi Zarqa Ma'in.

    4 days Distance: 84.4 km Ascent: 3,651 m Descent: 4,275 m Max Elevation: 871 m Min Elevation: 0 m
