The incredible map of Palestine in Madaba.

My suggestion

Park near the visitor center and explore the town on foot: the central area is not large.

My suggestion

It's a nicer place to spend time than Amman, and close to the airport, so I recommend that you stay here rather than in the capital.

Whether you're a history buff or just have a tourist's curiosity, you will no doubt be impressed by the feeling of power that the castle exudes; it's clear that this was once the stronghold of the 12th Century crusaders.
