Getting there

Be sure to put the activity centre into any route planner, as Google maps will take you to the other end of the Wadi which is about 20 km away from the entrance. The activity centre is around 1 hr 20 min from Amman by car. Public transport options are fairly limited so if you don't have a car the best option might be to hire a taxi. In low season it is possible to hire a taxi from Amman with some haggling for 50 JD (as of Sep 2022) including sufficient waiting time at Wadi Mujib and the Dead Sea (there's a free public beach around 500 m south of the activity centre). Ride-hailing apps Careem and Uber are also options for getting there; prices from 20 JD one way (September 2022), but getting a lift back may prove more of an issue. It is useful to show the taxi driver the quote from Careem when negotiating a price.

Eat

There is a café on site, but it was closed as of Sep 2022, so it's a good idea to bring your own food and water. There are no shops within walking distance.
