Location

•To get to Petra from Amman:
• The cheapest is the local bus which also takes the longest. These go from the Wahadat bus station to the south of Amman. There’s no timetable, the buses just go when they are full - there are about 4 or 5 a day, though fewer on Fridays. This should cost you 5 JD, and it can be quite fun, though cramped.
• The JETT bus leaves from the JETT offices in Abdali at 6.30am and arrives about 10am. This is 8JD and you need to reserve a seat beforehand.
• A taxi is another option, though definitely the most expensive – roughly 60JD. If you want a cheaper option you can often find a taxi at the Wahadat bus station along with some people who will share the cost.
• From Aqaba:
• Again there are local buses which leave regularly during the morning and 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
• A taxi should cost about 30JD, though from the Eilat border they are often more expensive.
• To find Saba’a Hotel:
• If you arrive on the local bus, you’ll stop at the station in the town centre, just send us a message and one of us will meet you. Otherwise, follow the map below and you can’t get lost! It's about a 5 minute walk.
• If you arrive on the JETT bus, you’ll stop at the coach park down the hill near the gates to Petra. You can walk up the hill into town, but it's a bit of a killer, especially with a bag. A taxi should cost between 1-2JD.

Friendly and helpful staff and owners. Made breakfast earlier than stated as knew we had early start. Good breakfast.
