Ghor Al Safi is more than the place you pass on the way to Wadi Al Hasa. Stay a little longer and you can meet the farming community, eat at Safi Kitchen, explore local heritage and add nearby nature stops to your route through southern Jordan.
Many visitors first come here for Wadi Al Hasa. But the area around the canyon has its own story: farms, food, archaeological sites, local guides and landscapes around the southern end of the Dead Sea.
Walk through the water canyon with local guides, with short, classic and private options depending on your time and the conditions.
See the agricultural side of Safi through seasonal ingredients, local cooking, farms and time with local hosts.
Spend time with the area beyond the canyon through local stories, archaeology, St. Lot’s Cave and selected heritage stops.
You do not need to do everything. Choose one experience, or combine a few when the timing, weather and access work for your day.
Visit local farms when available, cook with local hosts and sit down together for a traditional meal.
Visit selected heritage and archaeological sites with local context rather than simply passing them on the road.
Come out of Wadi Al Hasa, change into dry clothes and continue the day with local food and hospitality in Safi.
See the agricultural landscape at a slower pace with a short local cycling experience.
Climb with a local guide toward the cave and the remains associated with the Byzantine-era complex, with wide views over the area.
Add a nature stop around Fifa, where wetland habitat and migratory birds give the Southern Ghor a very different character.
Another nearby canyon landscape for visitors who have time to explore beyond Wadi Al Hasa.
Some activities depend on the season, access or advance arrangements. Confirm the details with us before building them into a fixed itinerary.
Ghor Al Safi sits near the southern end of the Dead Sea and is our local base for Wadi Al Hasa. If you are driving between the Dead Sea and southern Jordan, it can also become part of the trip rather than just a point on the road.
Agriculture is part of everyday life here, and that gives the destination a different feel from Jordan’s better-known desert and archaeological stops.
A few hours is enough if you are coming for one activity. With a full day, you can combine Wadi Al Hasa with food, heritage, cycling or another nearby stop when conditions and timing allow.
A simple combination works well: the canyon, local food and one cultural or nature stop. We can adjust it around your available time and the conditions that day.
The Southern Ghawr Company was established in 2017 to help develop the region as a tourism destination, support local livelihoods and connect natural and cultural heritage with visitor experiences.
