Walking
From the center of Kerak, head towards the Kerak Castle. As you approach the castle, look for signs indicating the direction to 'Ein Gedi.' Follow the path that leads south towards the main road. After about 10-15 minutes of walking, you will reach the main bus station in Kerak. Here, you can catch a bus heading to Amman. Make sure to ask the bus driver or the ticket seller if the bus goes towards Ein Gedi or if you need to change buses at a certain point.
Public Transport
Once you arrive at the bus station, buy a ticket to Ein Gedi. The journey might take a couple of hours, so be prepared for a bit of travel. Ask the bus driver to drop you off at the nearest stop to Ein Gedi Eco Park, as it might not be a direct route. Once you get off the bus, you can continue walking towards Ein Gedi which should be around a 20-30 minute walk. Follow the road signs to ensure you are heading in the right direction.
Taxi
Alternatively, if you prefer not to walk, you can hire a taxi from the Kerak Castle area to take you to Ein Gedi Eco Park. Make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey. This option might be more expensive, but it will save you travel time and effort.
