Itinerary description
|
Between Amman-Aqaba Road 65 along the Dead Sea and the Arabian Desert, and the picturesque and historic Kings Way (Road 35) up the mountain, there are two well-known links: from Gawr-al-Mazraah to Al-Karak and from Gawr -al-Safi to At Tafila.
Completely unknown is the third, asphalt narrow road starting at the bottom of "nowhere", at an easy-to-miss intersection, and reaching Kings Way in At-Taybeh, in a maze of poorly marked local roads. One of the most beautiful roads in Jordan, accessible by any passenger car. Leading through the Wadi Musa massif, it overcomes 1200 meters of denivelation starting from the depression -250 m above sea level. It provides unforgettable views - especially when going down.
