Getting there & away
As with anywhere along the King's Highway, Karak can be difficult but not impossible to reach by public transport. The main bus station is outside the town, at the bottom of the hill, by the junction of the King's Highway.

Local transport
Taxi
From Amman it's possible (with considerable bargaining) to charter a taxi to Karak via the Desert Highway for about JD18 one way. From Amman via the King's Highway, with a few stops in Wadi Mujib and Madaba, expect to pay at least JD22.
From Karak, taxi fares cost around JD30 to Amman, JD35 to Petra and JD20 to Madaba. Try Al-Reid Taxi Service (2352297; Al-Mujamma St) or just head down to the taxi stand on Umari St.
