The Wadi Mujib (Arabic: وادي الموجب, romanized: Wādī al-Mūjib), also known as Arnon Stream (Hebrew: נַחַל ארנון), is a river in Jordan. The river empties into the Dead Sea circa 420 metres (1,380 ft) below sea level.
In ancient times, the river served as the northern boundary of the kingdom of Moab.
Today, the Wadi Mujib is fed by seven tributaries. The western part of the river is the site of the Mujib Biosphere Reserve, popular for hikes & canyoning amid dramatic rock formations.
