Getting there & away
There are signs to the 'Baptism Site' along the road from Amman to the Dead Sea. Take any minibus to Suweimah. About 5km before the town, the road makes a 90-degree turn; the Dead Sea is to the left, the baptism site to the right. There is no public transport for the 5km to the visitor centre so you'll have to hitch, charter a taxi or walk (take plenty of water).
A taxi from Madaba to the site, taking in the Dead Sea and Mt Nebo en route costs around JD20.
