Car
If you're traveling by car from any location in the Eastern Highlands, head towards the main road that connects to the King’s Highway (Route 35). From the towns of Karak or Madaba, follow the signs towards the Jordan River. The coordinates for the Jordan River are approximately 32.4767389 latitude and 35.5697717 longitude. Once you reach the vicinity of the river, look for parking areas or designated viewpoints where you can safely leave your vehicle.
Public Transportation
For those opting for public transportation, start by taking a bus or minibus from towns like Karak or Madaba towards the nearest city, which is Jerash. From Jerash, you can find shared taxis or local buses heading towards the Jordan River area. Be sure to confirm with the driver that they will be stopping at or near the Jordan River. The fare may vary but expect to pay around 1-3 Jordanian Dinars. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the river itself.
Taxi
Another convenient option is to hire a taxi. You can either arrange for a taxi through your hotel or find one in town. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand. A taxi ride from Madaba or Karak to the Jordan River could cost around 15-25 Jordanian Dinars depending on the distance and time taken. The taxi will take you directly to the river, and the driver can wait for you while you explore the area.
