This is another half day trip, entirely suitable for
children. Wadi Weida'a is on the road from Kerak to the
Dead Sea, and starts about 6kms before Mazra'a,
reachable by bus from Kerak. About 100m from the road
there is a small artificial pool that collects water
from a small spring. Follow the water upstream into the
gorge which is no more than 2 kms long. You will be
walking through fragrant myrtle bushes which are very
rare in Jordan. At the upper end of the gorge is a
waterfall about 4 meters high; you cannot go much
further.
Tip: the warm pool is popular with people from Kerak,
and you should avoid the spot on Fridays and holidays.
It might also be necessary to turn a blind eye to
rubbish lying around near the pool - such a pity! |
