The Wadi Mujib Reserve the lowest nature reserve in the world covers 212 kilometers squared. Its rugged and spectacular mountains border the Dead Sea coast 416 meters below sea level. It lies in a deep valley holding some of Jordan's most breathtaking scenery and is home to a wide diversity of plant and wildlife. The magnificent scenery and the challenge of negotiating Mujib's fast-flowing rivers makes the Reserve one of Jordan's most popular natural attractions.
The Malaqi Trail is an exciting water trail. It starts at the visitor center and follows the same route into the nature reserve as the Ibex Trail. It leads quickly to a striking area of creamy-white hills made of soft rock deposits.
After passing through these hills, you begin your descent to the river Mujib; crystal clear, fast flowing and teeming with life. Small fish are plentiful, as well as frogs. Bright kingfishers are often seen speeding along the river channel, as well as circling birds of prey. Dense vegetation lines the river sides, making a stark contrast to the arid, naked mountains that surround you.
The hike continues upstream along in the river to its confluence with the Hidan River (Malaqi area). Here you can linger, eat a picnic and just enjoy this wild paradise. You can also enjoy swimming in the natural pools. You then move on through the Mujib gorge to descend a waterfall, 20 meters in height, using ropes.
From here you continue along the rest of the river, back to the visitor center.
