More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The road out of Amman eases and the hills peel back to reveal a sharp canyon cut into black volcanic rock. By midday you arrive at Ma’in — a steaming pocket of life below sea level where waterfalls spill into mineral pools and the air smells faintly of sulfur. The first sip of warm pool water is immediate: the springs range from roughly 40–60°C (104–140°F), and the pools feel as if the landscape itself is inviting you to settle in.
