Trails & Valleys
وادي الحسا
Wadi Al-Hasa is one of Jordan’s most remarkable natural valleys, offering a unique blend of environmental and historical significance. Stretching about 40 kilometers between Karak and Tafileh and flowing into the Dead Sea, it is among the longest valleys in the country. Unlike many desert wadis, Al-Hasa has permanent water sources fed by natural springs, supporting agriculture and local communities. Historically known as Wadi Zared in ancient texts, it served as a geographic boundary in the Levant. The valley’s geology limestone, sandstone, and basalt formations, provides a rich record for researchers studying climate and earth history. Today, Wadi Al-Hasa is a popular eco-tourism destination for hikers and adventurers, admired for its scenic landscapes, flowing streams, and biodiversity. The construction of Al-Tannur Dam in 1999 further enhanced its role as a vital water resource in one of the world’s most water-scarce countries.
