Take-off description
Once you parked your car, continue by foot (around 100m.) on the dirt track. you can take off from the track once you found the \'best wind oriented\' place on the hill Update: Huge Electric wires in front of the take off!
Getting there
hard to find... : on the highway from amman to jerash (about halfway to jerash), you will find yourself going down a \'valley\', at the lowest point, highway crosses a (rather) small \'river\' : this is where you leave the higway. you go underneath the higway to the west, along the river, and afterwards go up on the hill that is on your right. after you arrived at the top, take the road on your left, go about 500m and you will find yourself above the lake, you made it !!!!
Weather
Breeze may be strong in the afternoons in spring and summer.
