Getting there

Bus

From the center of Irbid, head to the Irbid Bus Station, which is located near the Al-Faisal Mall. Look for buses heading towards the Golan Heights or Gamla. Make sure to confirm with the bus driver that they stop at Gamla Nature Reserve. The journey will take approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive at Gamla, follow the signs to the reserve entrance, which is about a 10-minute walk from the bus drop-off point.

Taxi

From any point in Irbid, you can hail a taxi. Inform the driver that you want to go to Gamla Nature Reserve. The trip will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Ensure that the driver knows the location since it's a popular tourist destination. Once you arrive, you can enter the reserve and start exploring the beautiful scenery.

Walking

If you are near the Irbid center and enjoy walking, you can make your way towards the main road leading out of the city. Follow the road signs directing you towards the Golan Heights. However, please note that this is a long walk (approximately 12 km) and may take 2-3 hours. It is advisable to take public transport instead, but if you choose to walk, ensure you carry enough water and wear comfortable shoes.
