Wadi Mudhlim Hiking Tour

The lesser-known Trail of Wadi Mudhlim in Petra, Jordan, offers an alternate route to the well-known Siq.
This walk offers tourists a different viewpoint of Petra’s magnificent rock formations and historic buildings by leading them via the Nabatean Tunnel and a winding, narrow canyon.

Visitors should be ready for steep climbs, confined spaces, and rough terrain because the path is noted for its difficult topography. Those who undertake the journey, however, are rewarded with breath-taking panoramas and an incomparable insight into Petra’s history and culture.

The Nabatean Tunnel, an astounding feat of engineering dug into the rock to enable access to the city, is one of the highlights of the Wadi Mudhlim path. Visitors may marvel at the beautiful carvings and building skills employed by the Nabateans to create this remarkable path through the tunnel, which is dark and tiny.

The meandering canyon that follows the tunnel is similarly stunning, with towering rock formations and secret alcoves used as tombs and houses by the Nabateans. Along the way, visitors can see ancient inscriptions and carvings that reveal details about Petra’s inhabitants’ daily lives and beliefs.

Overall, the Wadi Mudhlim Trail offers a unique and demanding alternative to the more famous Petra trails, allowing tourists to explore the ancient city in a fresh and intriguing way.
