Wadi Himara waterfall

 Two spectacular cascades, each of over 80 meters high constitute the outstanding features of Wadi Himara. Remember that 80 meters is about the height of a 25 storey building!  The new road from Hammamet Ma'in to the Dead Sea crosses this Wadi fairly high up and now provides good access while omitting the rather dull beginning. The wadi is some 5kms long and will need about 6 hours. It can be walked without the abseiling, but you lose the most exciting part!
 
Wadi Himara is a wonderful canyon for people who enjoy abseiling and exciting water canyons. You begin with two small waterfalls (each about 15 meters) and after the first big waterfall (about 80 meters), you have a narrow canyon which needs about 30 minutes. Two more "small" abseils and an enjoyable water slide bring you to the "big one". This second huge waterfall has a wonderful approach between two tall redis sandstone pillars, each 50 meters high. A most spectacular gateway to the highest waterfall in Jordan!
 
From here a very narrow gorge brings you to the Dead Sea, where you should have arranged transport to pick you up.
