Mujib Chalets

Top choice in Dead Sea Highway


Wild Jordan operates 15 stylish and modern en-suite chalets overlooking the Dead Sea. You need to book in advance, either by calling the chalet manager directly or when booking your hike through the RSCN. The chalets have double or twin beds, a fridge and a shaded patio overlooking the Dead Sea, in a plot that is still under development.

There are freshwater showers by the beach. The small restaurant serves an early breakfast for hikers; guests can also order a simple lunch or dinner in advance.
