From Dana Village, head southeast on the main road towards the Dead Sea Highway (Route 15). Continue on Route 15 for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the Wadi Musa exit. Follow the signs for Wadi Musa, and as you enter the town, keep an eye out for Petra Balloon Street. Turn left onto Petra Balloon Street, and the attraction will be on your right. The total driving distance is around 50 kilometers and will take approximately 1 hour.
Public Transportation
To reach Petra Balloon via public transport, take a bus from Dana Village to Wadi Musa. Buses run regularly, but schedules can vary, so it is advisable to check local times. Once you arrive in Wadi Musa, you can either walk or take a taxi to Petra Balloon Street. The taxi ride should take about 10 minutes. Ensure you have some Jordanian Dinars for the bus fare and taxi, as costs may vary but expect to pay around 5-10 JOD in total for both transport methods.
