It is located half a kilometer from the city of Madaba, south of the Jordanian capital of Amman, and is administratively affiliated with the Madaba Governorate. It is the smallest Palestinian camp in Jordan in terms of area and population, as its area is estimated at about 112 dunams (0.04 sq mi), and its population is about 10,500 people. Some 1,200 families reside in the camp.[1] Madaba camp is not currently recognized by UNRWA.[2]

The camp contains two schools (one for boys and one for girls) affiliated with the International Relief Agency, operating in double shifts, a health center affiliated with the International Relief Agency, and a government health centre.[2]
