Wadi Mujib is an adventure environment managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). The current RSCN 2026 trail sheet reviewed on 6 August 2026 lists the self-guided Siq Trail and guided Ibex Trail. It does not list Canyon or Malaqi. Their current operation, prices and booking rules are therefore UNABLE TO VERIFY from that publication. Use this page to understand the verified 2026 list, then confirm live access directly with RSCN before travel.
The current RSCN 2026 trail sheet lists the Siq Trail as self-guided, with a duration of 2 to 3 hours, and the Ibex Trail as guided, with a duration of 3 to 4 hours. It does not provide live operating status, real-time remaining capacity, age rules or equipment requirements. Confirm those directly with RSCN before travel.
