Itinerary description
Thanks to Javier who posted the location to this and so many other trails in Jordan!
This was really easy to get to. Just take the airport road toward the airport from Amman, and about 10km down you will see Amman Waves on your right. Exit the highway and take the first right after Amman Waves, and you'll come to a soccer field on your right in about 200m. Park there.
We did a short loop and it would have taken probably 45 minutes if we hadn't stopped for 30 minutes at the Maronite church to talk to people there and see the church. There's lots of little trails to wander around or you can stick to our path which is mostly paved but has a bit off road. Beautiful, fun, simple trip.
Beware as always for psychotic Jordanian drivers who will run you off the side of the trails!
