Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car from the main entrance of Azraq Wetland Reserve, head southeast on the main road (Road 30) for approximately 15 kilometers. Follow the signs towards Dayr Al Kahf. Once you reach the area, use your GPS to navigate to the coordinates 32.2768075, 36.8376872. You will find a small parking area near the ruins.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, first take a bus from Azraq to the nearest town, which is Azraq. From Azraq, you may need to hire a taxi to reach Deir Al-Kahef ruins, as direct public transport may not be available. The taxi ride should take about 20 minutes and cost around 5-10 Jordanian Dinars, depending on your negotiation skills.
Walking
If you are already within the Azraq Wetland Reserve and prefer walking, head southwest towards the ruins. The walk is approximately 4 kilometers and will take about 1 hour on foot. Make sure to carry water and wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain can be uneven.
