What to Expect on the Wadi Mujib Private Tour
The journey begins with a hotel pickup in Amman. You’ll meet your professional, English-speaking driver who is also your guide, offering a comfortable, air-conditioned ride to Wadi Mujib.

The Wadi Mujib Experience: A 3-Hour Hike
Once you arrive, the real fun begins. The highlight is the 3-hour hike through the Wadi Mujib canyon, which is also known as the “Siq of Jordan.” The trail offers panoramic vistas, lush greenery, and dramatic cliffs. Reviewers note that the views are “spectacular,” and the hike provides a chance to connect with Jordan’s natural environment in a meaningful way.
The trail can be demanding—reviewers suggest travelers should be in good physical condition—but the reward is well worth the effort. Expect to walk along narrow paths, cross shallow streams, and navigate rocky sections. The scenery is breathtaking, with towering cliffs framing the path and the chance to see wildlife or unique rock formations.
What Makes this Tour Stand Out?
A major advantage is the private nature of this experience. Only your group participates, allowing for a more relaxed pace and personalized attention. As one reviewer said, “El servicio fue puntual y perfecto,” emphasizing the professionalism and punctuality of the service. The fact that the tour charges per vehicle rather than per person makes it a good value, especially for small groups or families.
Post-hike, you’ll be transported back to Amman, with plenty of time left in the day to explore more or relax at your hotel. The overall duration of 7 to 8 hours offers a full and satisfying day without feeling rushed.
The Practicalities and Details
The tour is available every day from Monday to Sunday, with ample hours from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM, making it easy to fit into most travel plans. Confirmation is received upon booking, and the experience is fully flexible—you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
The cost of $144 per group (up to four people) is a noteworthy point—it’s a straightforward price, with no hidden charges. The inclusion of amenities like WiFi and bottled water adds to the comfort, especially after a vigorous hike. The only thing not included is the entry ticket to Wadi Mujib, so budget for that separately.
The driver provided by Trans Jordan is not only knowledgeable but also reliable, with contact details readily available for any questions or special requests. The fuel surcharge is included, so no surprises there.
