Short hiking canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Mazra Junction we drive on the "65" pretty much exactly 41 km southwards and then come to the turnoff of the old road to Tafila at Marmara Junction. We take this road and after 600m we come to a place where a track turns off to the right. As far as the road is passable, we can drive on it down to the wadi.

Approach (15 min): machine translated ➜

Otherwise we park our car near a water reservoir and walk down into the wadi.

Tour (1 h 40): machine translated ➜

Next to some black water hoses we walk upstream until a waterfall blocks our way.

Return (15 min): machine translated ➜

On the approach path back again.
