REGION 4: THREE WADIS TO KARAK
-
Details
This section follows a plateau edge offering sweeping views across Wadi Hidan and Wadi Mujib, often described as the “Grand Canyon of Jordan.” Wadi Mujib plunges nearly 800 meters deep, its perennial stream cutting through vast arid expanses dotted with farmland and Bedouin tents. After crossing the wadi and climbing back to higher ground, hikers head south across a fertile plateau with rich red soils and farmlands, passing the ruins of Majdalein near Wadi ibn Hammad (a conservation area) before descending again into Wadi el Tawahin and ascending via Wadi ez Zaiyatin. The stage culminates at Karak Castle, an imposing Crusader fortress that dominates the surrounding landscape..
