The Wadi Mujib (Arabic: وادي الموجب, Wadi el-Mujib), also known as Arnon Stream (Hebrew: נַחַל ארנון[1]), is a river in Jordan. The river empties into the Dead Sea circa 420 metres (1,380 ft) below sea level.[2]

In ancient times, the river served as the northern boundary of the kingdom of Moab.[3]

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.
