What a day... what a canyon... what an adventure!!!
This canyon was literarily mesmerizing: the three-step waterfall, the gushing water, the hanging gardens, the springs, the frogs, the dragon flies, the wild mint bushes, the huge boulders, the red-rock gorges and the travertine caves...
Abseiling that three-step waterfall was the most impressive physical activity. The first two steps were the easy part with 5 meters each, but once you reach the edge of the third step, you have no way to abseil the 20 meters without dipping completely into its gushing water for a refreshing cool 'compulsory' shower!
"I felt that Adrinaline rush going through my body, took a deep breath and rappelled down dipping into the torrent waterfall!" That is what Tala had to say about that particular part.
Before I leave you with all the nice photos to tell the complete story, I would like to salute the adventurous spirits of the Jordanian expedition team who has accompanied Tala and I through this adventure: Nadim Twal, Raad Shaqman and Zakariya Khasawneh.
We are actually planning another trip to Wadi El Karak on the 11th of May; for more information, please go to http://www.terhaal.com/ourtrips/weekend/weekend.asp

Finding no traces for any ropes or abseiling stations even in places where Bedouins cannot reach, we beleive that we are the first team to go canyoning through this magnificent wadi!
For those canyoning and abseiling lovers, this wadi has much to offer. It receives you with a 50 m waterfall of dried travertine drapes followed by a straight-cut waterfall of 93 m, then continues with a series of smaller waterfalls where abseiling is definitely unavoidable. At its upper reaches, Wadi Abu El Asal owns one of the most facinating panoramas for the Dead Sea. Palm trees and water cascades are scattered along the way. The wadi connects with Wadi Himara and continues west to reach the Dead Sea.
This trail was very demanding, we only recommend it for those advanced abseilors. Special thanks go to Ilan for the great expertise which led us through this amazing adventure!
