Tourist offices Dead Sea And Kings Road

The Visitor Centre is housed in a traditional 19th century house, which has been very well restored. It belonged to the Al Batjali family of merchants. In addition to entering an interior dating back to the Ottoman period, the Visitors' Centre provides a context for the history of Madaba. Two rooms have been set up as an interpretation centre, with signs in English, and a ten-minute film provides some interesting information about Madaba. You can also get a map of the city.

The Baptism of Christ site has a high price tag for Jordanian standards. The area on the border with Israel is under military control and the visit is extremely restricted. For that price, you get a guide (English commentary) and transportation by minibus to the baptism site and the Jordan River. The shuttle leaves when it is full, at most every 30 minutes. The tour takes between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on whether or not the people accompanying you decide to dive into the river.

The visitor center is located at the exit of the canyon on the Dead Sea side. This is where you will go to pay the entrance fee to the reserve or book a trek with a guide. It is also the starting point for all RSCN organized hikes in the reserve. The centre includes an educational exhibition that presents the fauna and flora in the reserve as well as the famous Nubian ibex, of which only rare specimens remain.

The Visitors Center is located at the Dana Guesthouse. It is here that you will pay the entrance fee to the Reserve. The dynamic and enthusiastic staff will be able to provide you with information about guided and unguided hiking opportunities. An exhibition presenting the fauna and flora offers an interesting introduction to what awaits you. A shop selling local handicrafts (jewellery, bags...) produced by the local people is also located in the Visitors' Centre.
