Start early to beat heat
Begin before mid-morning in spring–summer; the gorge is cooler in shade but exposed sections and transfers get hot quickly.
Use water shoes with grip
Expect wading and scrambling over wet boulders—closed-toe water shoes reduce slips and protect toes.
Protect electronics
Carry a small drybag or sealed phone pouch—water and sand are constant hazards in the Siq and at the Dead Sea.
Pace yourself at the waterfall
Turnaround points can be slippery; take breaks at the pool and follow guide or signage if using ropes and ladders.
Grippy water shoes
Protects feet on wet rock and provides secure traction in pools and on ladders.
