Six kilometres of warm river between Tafileh and Karak.

A moderate 6 km water hike down the Hassa river bed, where warm springs feed the stream year-round so the water stays comfortable even in the shoulder season. The walking is steady rather than technical — long wades, gravel bars and a few short scrambles — which makes it a good first canyon for anyone stepping up from an ordinary hike.
