WHO SAYS THERE IS NO WATER IN THE MIDDLE EAST...

Last weekend we went with a group of about ten to a place called Wadi Mujib.  It was one of the most beautiful sites we’ve visited so far and definitely a must do if you ever tour Jordan!  It’s a narrow slot canyon that leads up to a huge waterfall.  You start at the base, which flows into the Dead Sea, and then hike up about a mile to the waterfall.  You are in water the whole time but sometimes it’s only ankle deep while in other areas the water is over your head.  There are a few mini waterfalls where you use ropes and ladders to climb up and then some fun rocks to do a little cliff jumping.  It’s definitely no cakewalk and Chana showed how hardcore she really is.... she needed very little help.  It was super refreshing to get out of the heat and into some water while enjoying the beautiful scenery!
