About this experience

From the visitor centre on the Dead Sea road you enter the gorge on a metal bridge and step straight into the river. For the next two hours you wade against the current, climb small cascades with the help of fixed ropes and, where the water is deep, float in your life jacket between towering walls.

The reward is a thundering waterfall at the end of the canyon. The trail ticket is included, and your driver waits with dry clothes and water. You can finish with a swim at a Dead Sea resort.

Questions travellers ask

What should I wear?

Swimwear under quick-dry clothes and shoes that can get wet with good grip (not flip-flops). Bring a change of clothes and a dry bag for your phone.

Is the price per person or per group?

Not per person: the price is for your private car with driver, for your group only – choose the vehicle that fits your group. The activity fee (Siq Trail ticket, guide and life jacket) is added for each traveller. Add-ons such as tickets, guides and meals are priced as shown next to each one, and the total updates live as you choose.

Can I change the pick-up time?

Yes. We suggest a time that avoids the heat and the crowds, and you can adjust it after booking by message or WhatsApp.

How do I pay?

Choose your payment method at checkout. You will receive an instant booking email, and our team confirms your driver (and guide, if you added one) within a few hours.

Can we spend time at a Dead Sea resort, and how much is a day pass?

Yes – several Dead Sea resorts welcome day visitors. Approximate published prices per person: Mövenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea – about JOD 55 from Sunday to Thursday and JOD 65 on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays (about JOD 110–130 for two). Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa – usually JOD 50–75 depending on the package; some packages include the pools and private beach, and the higher ones also a food and drink credit (about JOD 100–150 for two). Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort & Spa – usually JOD 40–50, depending on availability, the day of your visit and what is included (about JOD 80–100 for two).

Is there a more affordable way to swim in the Dead Sea?

Yes – the Dead Sea Tourist Beach (formerly known as Amman Tourist Beach). Current published prices for foreign visitors: JOD 10 per person for basic day entry, JOD 20 per person for the swimming package and JOD 30 per person for swimming with lunch. It is a good, economical choice for a short visit. If you prefer more privacy and comfort, hotel-standard facilities, swimming pools and a private beach, we recommend Mövenpick, Marriott or Crowne Plaza.

Is the resort or beach entry included in our booking?

Not in the programme price, but you can add it: a day use with lunch buffet and use of all facilities at the Grand East Hotel (4★, JOD 30 per person), the Crowne Plaza (5★, JOD 45) or the Marriott (5★, JOD 75) under “Add to your booking”, and we arrange it for you. A day pass at another resort, or the Tourist Beach, is paid by you directly there. The other prices above are general, approximate information that changes with the season, the hotel’s occupancy and your date – we are happy to re-confirm them before your visit.
