Traveling to Mujib Nature Reserve
By Air:
Queen Alia International Airport in Amman serves as the primary gateway for international travelers to Jordan. Upon arrival at the airport, the reserve is approximately a 90-minute drive away.
By Road:
To visit Mujib Nature Reserve by road, there are several options:
-
Rental Car: Renting a car from Amman or directly at Queen Alia International Airport gives you the flexibility to travel at your own pace. Take the Dead Sea road heading south to reach the reserve.
-
Taxi or Private Transfer: Taxis are readily available, and private transfers can be arranged through your hotel or tour operator. Be sure to agree on the fare beforehand if you opt for a taxi.
-
Public Transportation: While more economical, it is less common as it may not offer direct routes to the reserve. A combination of buses or minibusses is needed, and services may be infrequent or require transfers.
By Organized Tour:
Many visitors choose to book organized tours from Amman or the Dead Sea hotels. These usually include transport and can be a convenient and informative way to visit the reserve.
Important Tips:

Best Time to Visit: The reserve is typically open from April to October, and visiting hours can vary seasonally. Plan your visit accordingly.
