Conservation
Avoid stepping on fragile vegetation near pool edges, pack out waste, and rely on guides to minimize anchor and rope impact on rock surfaces.
Reserve your spot on the Full-Day Guided Canyoning Adventure in Wadi Salaita today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear closed water shoes
Sturdy, grippy water shoes protect feet on wet limestone and over sharp rock; regular sneakers will slip.
Pack a dry bag
Keep passport, phone and a spare layer in a small dry bag — guides will transport gear between pools.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Desert sun and activity raise fluid needs; bring electrolyte drink and at least 1.5L of water in addition to what’s provided.
Follow guide commands
Guides assess water depth and anchor safety — obey instructions for jumps and rappels to avoid injury.
Closed-toe water shoes
Grip on wet rock and protection from sharp edges make these essential for canyoning.
