Madaba Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The new bus station, 2km east of the King's Highway, opened in 2005. A taxi to the station costs around JD1 and minibuses and/or service taxis run there from the King's Highway.

There are several attractions that are located around Madaba, but most (with the exception of Mt Nebo and Mukawir) are time-consuming to reach by public transport. If you don't have time to wait around for infrequent minibuses, charter a taxi in Madaba. A half-day trip (JD20 to JD25) could take in Mt Nebo, Khirbet Mukhayyat, Ayoun Musa and Hammamat Ma'in. A full day (around JD35) could also take in Mukawir, Umm ar-Rasas and Wadi Mujib.
