Wadi Mujib, Jordan’s Grand Canyon, stretches around 70 kilometres from the Desert Highway to the Dead Sea. The river canyon, four kilometres wide and one kilometre deep, allows wildlife enthusiasts to view various animals, including Egyptian vultures, Nubian ibex, striped hyenas, and Syrian wolves, as well as explore unusual landscapes.
