Getting There

Car
If you are driving from the Mujib Nature Reserve visitor center, start by heading south on the main road (Road 65) towards the Dead Sea. After about 15 kilometers, you will reach the junction for the road leading to Wadi Dahek. Look for signs indicating 'Wadi Dahek' and turn left onto the unpaved road. Follow this road for approximately 5 kilometers, which may require a 4x4 vehicle due to rocky terrain. Keep an eye out for markers indicating the path to the White Desert. Once you arrive, park in the designated area and prepare for a short hike to fully appreciate the stunning views of the white desert landscape.

Public Transportation
While public transportation options are limited, you can take a bus from Amman to Madaba. From Madaba, hire a taxi to take you to Mujib Nature Reserve. Once at the reserve, you will need to arrange for a local guide or taxi service to reach Wadi Dahek, as there are no direct public transport routes to this specific location. It's advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand; expect to pay around 30-50 Jordanian Dinars for this service. Make sure to confirm the return trip with your driver.

Guided Tour
Consider joining a guided tour that includes Wadi Dahek as part of its itinerary. Tours can be booked through various travel agencies in Jordan, particularly those based in Amman or Madaba. This option usually includes transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and sometimes meals. Prices vary, but expect to pay around 50-100 Jordanian Dinars per person for a full-day tour that includes Wadi Dahek, depending on the inclusions.
