Bus
To reach Madaba Archaeological Park from Amman, head to the South Bus Station (also known as the Abdali Bus Station). Look for buses headed to Madaba. The fare is usually around 1-2 Jordanian Dinars. The journey takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Once you arrive at the Madaba bus station, exit the bus and walk straight for about 10 minutes until you reach K. Talal St. Turn right, and you will see the entrance to the Madaba Archaeological Park on your left.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Amman. Simply tell the driver 'Madaba Archaeological Park' or provide the address 'K. Talal St. 324, Madaba.' The ride will take about 30 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on the fare before starting your journey; it should cost around 20-25 Jordanian Dinars.
Shared Taxi (Service)
Another option is to use a shared taxi or service (known as 'service' in Jordan). Head to any main street and look for a taxi with 'Madaba' written on it. These taxis usually leave when full and are a cheaper alternative, costing around 1-2 Jordanian Dinars. The drop-off point is typically in the center of Madaba; from there, you can walk to K. Talal St. which is about a 15-minute walk towards the archaeological park.
