How long (approx) does it take to hike to the ruins on top of Mukawir? From pictures I've seen, it looks like a difficult hike on a sandy/narrow path. Thanks for any info!

Was there years ago. If I recall correctly, the car park is on an adjacent hill. From there, you walk down into the valley and up again to the ruins. It's a very short hike. 10 to 20 minutes I think. The archaeological area is tiny, but the views from the hill are good (unless it's hazy). Also, the scenery on the approach drive is quite pretty.

I am planning to go to Mukawir too, I'd like to know about the frequency of buses going there. And does the bus from Madaba go to the parking space?
