MUJIB BIOSPHERE RESERVE
At 410 meters below sea level, the Mujib Biosphere Reserve is the lowest nature reserve on Earth. Its rugged and spectacular mountains border the Dead Sea coast and are dissected by several river-filled canyons that offer the best river and adventure hikes in Jordan. The breathtaking scenery and the challenge of negotiating Mujib’s fast-flowing rivers make the Reserve one of Jordan’s most popular natural attractions.
Mujib’s
complex river system and all-year water flow enable it to support a
rich biodiversity. To date, over 300 species of plants, 10 species of
carnivores and numerous species of resident and migratory birds have
been recorded. Some of the mountain and valley areas are difficult to
reach and offer safe havens for rare species of cats, mountain goats
(Ibex) and other mountain animals.
Mujib Adventure Center
Is
the starting point of all the adventures and activities (except Al
Hidan trail) to explore Wadi Al Mujib, and it is a special spot for the
adventure lovers in Jordan and the world. The center also has a
cafeteria and a waiting area.
