They have a lot of schedule in different cities in Jordan so be mindful of the timings. The staff are helpful with my concerns. They speak English and communicated very well.

We recently took a bus from Aqaba to Petra, and it was much better than booking a driver. The staff were extremely polite and cooperative. I highly recommend Jet Transport to everyone; their commitment to punctuality and bus cleanliness is commendable. Special thanks to Mr. Raed Haddad, the Passenger Transport Department Director, for his professionalism and to Mr. Faraaj, a standout employee, for excellent service in internal travel and trips.

• pjohnbd 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles JETT Bus Jordan. Amman-Dead Sea-Beware Absolute disgrace of a bus driver on Tuesday November 14th. Amman-Dead Sea - Amman from Abdali bus station. I've used Jett a few times without issues on other routes. Today however this bus driver was rude, abusive, threatening and trying to conn passengers out of extra money. It started with a stop 18km from the dead sea pitched as a photo opp. It was a hard aggressive and pushy sell to try and get people to buy a day pass for the Crowne Plaza through him (he keep saying it's not for him it's for us). After back on the bus he stared again and tried pitching the O Hotel Resort and Holiday Inn too. He at one stage used the phrase " you can't get off the bus without a pass for a hotel to one passenger" Myself I had contacted different hotels the day before, I decided on the Hilton Dead Sea Resort ( please see my review separately). I mentioned the issue with the driver and someone from reception and Hilton said if we needed the police he would help. Immediately after coming off the phone this bus driver started screaming at me and passengers and stating 'nobody can speak with each other'. As I called back to the Hilton with the intention to call the tourist police the bus was approaching the hotel. This despicable driver from JETT seems to have dodgy contacts at several hotels (beyond just taking a commission) and it 'appeared' outside the Holiday Inn that the driver and a hotel employee were demanding cash payment outside the hotel. So Hilton, amazing staff and support is there if needed. Re JETT I've drafted a detailed complaint in English and have a translation in Arabic with intention of presenting this upon arrival back in Amman (typing as I travel) raising this further with JETT also H.E.Mr Makram Mustafa A. QUEISI the current minister for tourism in Jordan. The ticket I bought with JETT was not a tour, purely transport. The driver also made an unscheduled stop at what I will refer to as a tourist junk souvenir shop in the hope of commissions. Well versed in such things from 'tours' elsewhere I didn't even leave the bus, again this was a transport purchase only. Read more Written 14 November 2023

It cost $133 a person to be ferried over in a JETT car from the Israeli side to the Jordan side. The paperwork and coordination was a mess making us wait 15 minutes until the driver got what he needed to start the trip and then to find the car had no working AC!!!!

• johnoF769ZZ 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Too much time waiting around I took a taxi to Petra in June 2023 from Amman to get there early and explore. I decided to take the bus back that evening due to cost savings and it was an extremely long journey. We boarded the bus as requested at 4.30 and we didn't arrive to the Abdali bus station until 9.15 - nearly 5 hours later. When the bus left we first had a stop for the ticket inspector, then we stopped for fuel and then finally a 30 minute break about 1.30 outside of Amman. This adds unnecessary time to the journey. The vehicle should be fully fueled before leaving Jordan and also is it necessary to have a 30 minute break on a 3hr journey... I'm not so sure - it's not a huge distance that requires this pause. After many hours exploring Petra - where you will be tired and sweaty from the desert sun, it is more desirable to reach your destination quicker. If you can afford the taxi both ways , I would certainly recommend this as you will save a lot of time. Read more Written 6 June 2023
• RaeNaka 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Very Helpful Staff and Good Ride Want to say a big THANKS for the supervisor of JETT bus in Petra - Mr Mouath. My luggage was sent to Wadi Rum by mistake (by hotel guest not by JETT) and it was being sent back by a taxi driver but it could not be arrived before bus departure from Petra to Amman. Mouath helped to call the hotel and taxi driver a few times to trace my luggage bag while he was also busy to take care of his JETT bus customer. The taxi driver who sent back my luggage bag arrived 1 min after the JETT bus departed and Mouath managed to load my bag onto the bus. Without JETT bus and Mouath's help - which is his extra work, I am definately not able to get back my luggage with bus departed on time. Read more Written 7 March 2023

Now the negative: during the tour to Petra and back we spent a total of one hour in front of a souvenir store. I would have preferred to spend this time in Petra. But the tour from Amman to Jerash was a cheek! After we were on the way back and ALL in the bus said that we did not want to take lunch in a restaurant determined by the driver to us (also extremely expensive and no choice), he went there with us anyway.

Had read in blogs and reviews that this price includes the shuttle (which was the same bus) over to Israel, but this is no longer the case - you have to pay an additional 7JD per person and 1.5JD for bags. If you have more than 1 person, it would be cheaper and more convenient to taxi to the border. Read more Written 18 October 2022

Amman – Dead Sea – Amman (Daily)

About this tour.

Departure Time from Jett Abdali Station at 8:30

Departure Time from Jett office 7th. Circle at 9:00 ( Location )

Return from the Dead Sea to Amman at 17:00

The Dead Sea, located in the Jordan Valley and 55 km southeast of Amman, is famously known as the Lowest Point on Earth. It is a one of kind natural landscape with the world’s richest source of natural salts and mud known for its health properties. At the Dead Sea, visitors can relax for hours,  swim,  sunbathe and experience the healing benefits of the therapeutic mud.  People flock from around the world to this natural spa for skin treatment and the chance to float on the water’s surface.

The Amman – Dead Sea – Amman route runs daily.

We Highly Recommend you reserve Swim and Lunch Package for easy comfortable access 

• The Dead Sea, which lies between Israel (and the West Bank) and Jordan, is the lowest point on earth, reaching depths of 13,000 feet (3,900m) below sea level. This enclosed body of water's high salt content makes it impossible for any kind of plant or animal life to survive. For humans, however, the rich accumulation of salt and minerals is highly beneficial, especially for the skin. In addition, the high concentration of salt makes it nearly impossible for even the most inexperienced of swimmers to drown in the sea's waters. The town of Suweimeh offers accommodations for those wishing to spend one or two nights along the sea. There are also numerous plans underway to develop additional towns, including Zara and El Mazra'a, into major tourist resorts. A new coastal highway, linking Jordan to Aqaba, runs the length of the Dead Sea.

Excellent driver, comfortable coach, with charging points and wifi which was very much appreciated.

I missed the bus by 10 minutes ; I called ahead and told them I was in the Uber and they stated they don’t wait they leave on time

I booked round trip and the bus left me in Petra. I had to book a taxi from petra to amman. There were three Jett busses in the station and none of them had a sign saying which one was going back to amman. I was there on station on time and the bus left without me. I had my little son with me as well and my husband. We had such a hard time coming back.

• pjohnbd 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles JETT Bus Jordan. Amman-Dead Sea-Beware Absolute disgrace of a bus driver on Tuesday November 14th. Amman-Dead Sea - Amman from Abdali bus station. I've used Jett a few times without issues on other routes. Today however this bus driver was rude, abusive, threatening and trying to conn passengers out of extra money. It started with a stop 18km from the dead sea pitched as a photo opp. It was a hard aggressive and pushy sell to try and get people to buy a day pass for the Crowne Plaza through him (he keep saying it's not for him it's for us). After back on the bus he stared again and tried pitching the O Hotel Resort and Holiday Inn too. He at one stage used the phrase " you can't get off the bus without a pass for a hotel to one passenger" Myself I had contacted different hotels the day before, I decided on the Hilton Dead Sea Resort ( please see my review separately). I mentioned the issue with the driver and someone from reception and Hilton said if we needed the police he would help. Immediately after coming off the phone this bus driver started screaming at me and passengers and stating 'nobody can speak with each other'. As I called back to the Hilton with the intention to call the tourist police the bus was approaching the hotel. This despicable driver from JETT seems to have dodgy contacts at several hotels (beyond just taking a commission) and it 'appeared' outside the Holiday Inn that the driver and a hotel employee were demanding cash payment outside the hotel. So Hilton, amazing staff and support is there if needed. Re JETT I've drafted a detailed complaint in English and have a translation in Arabic with intention of presenting this upon arrival back in Amman (typing as I travel) raising this further with JETT also H.E.Mr Makram Mustafa A. QUEISI the current minister for tourism in Jordan. The ticket I bought with JETT was not a tour, purely transport. The driver also made an unscheduled stop at what I will refer to as a tourist junk souvenir shop in the hope of commissions. Well versed in such things from 'tours' elsewhere I didn't even leave the bus, again this was a transport purchase only. Read more Written 14 November 2023

• johnoF769ZZ 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Too much time waiting around I took a taxi to Petra in June 2023 from Amman to get there early and explore. I decided to take the bus back that evening due to cost savings and it was an extremely long journey. We boarded the bus as requested at 4.30 and we didn't arrive to the Abdali bus station until 9.15 - nearly 5 hours later. When the bus left we first had a stop for the ticket inspector, then we stopped for fuel and then finally a 30 minute break about 1.30 outside of Amman. This adds unnecessary time to the journey. The vehicle should be fully fueled before leaving Jordan and also is it necessary to have a 30 minute break on a 3hr journey... I'm not so sure - it's not a huge distance that requires this pause. After many hours exploring Petra - where you will be tired and sweaty from the desert sun, it is more desirable to reach your destination quicker. If you can afford the taxi both ways , I would certainly recommend this as you will save a lot of time. Read more Written 6 June 2023
• RaeNaka 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Very Helpful Staff and Good Ride Want to say a big THANKS for the supervisor of JETT bus in Petra - Mr Mouath. My luggage was sent to Wadi Rum by mistake (by hotel guest not by JETT) and it was being sent back by a taxi driver but it could not be arrived before bus departure from Petra to Amman. Mouath helped to call the hotel and taxi driver a few times to trace my luggage bag while he was also busy to take care of his JETT bus customer. The taxi driver who sent back my luggage bag arrived 1 min after the JETT bus departed and Mouath managed to load my bag onto the bus. Without JETT bus and Mouath's help - which is his extra work, I am definately not able to get back my luggage with bus departed on time. Read more Written 7 March 2023

As for the refund policy there isn’t much information on however, will be in contact to receive a refund. Read more Written 7 December 2022

• 137arianec 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Mixed! First the positive: the trip from Amman to Aqaba and back went smoothly and according to plan. The staff is also very friendly! Now the negative: during the tour to Petra and back we spent a total of one hour in front of a souvenir store. I would have preferred to spend this time in Petra. But the tour from Amman to Jerash was a cheek! After we were on the way back and ALL in the bus said that we did not want to take lunch in a restaurant determined by the driver to us (also extremely expensive and no choice), he went there with us anyway. A young man who obviously belonged to the driver, went to eat and everyone else sat on the bus for an hour!!! Read more Written 7 November 2022
• matthewk585 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Bus Abdali to King Hussein Bridge Caught the 6.30am bus to King Hussein Bridge costing 11JD each. Had read in blogs and reviews that this price includes the shuttle (which was the same bus) over to Israel, but this is no longer the case - you have to pay an additional 7JD per person and 1.5JD for bags. If you have more than 1 person, it would be cheaper and more convenient to taxi to the border. Read more Written 18 October 2022

Amman to Petra: How to Get There + Tips

Home » Blog » Jordan » Amman to Petra: How to Get There + Tips

A trip to Jordan isn’t complete without a visit to Petra, the renowned ancient city nestled deep in the desert. There are many transportation options to the UNESCO site from the country’s bustling capital, so we created this guide to help you travel from Amman to Petra. 

Jordan is deservedly attracting more and more attention as a bucket list-worthy travel destination in the Middle East. With mystifying ancient cities and attractions, the peculiar Dead Sea, rugged mountain scenery, and so much more, there are so many unforgettable things to do in Jordan . 

The crown jewel of this captivating desert nation is Petra , a well-preserved ancient city carved right into colorful cliffs. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, this iconic destination receives more than its fair share of visitors year-round. 

Since the country’s capital city, Amman , is home to Jordan’s largest airport, visitors frequently travel from Amman to Petra. There are many transportation methods connecting the two cities, and we’ve broken down the various options. 

Amman to Petra

• By private transfer
• By rideshare
• Guided tours

Be sure to read our independent guides for visiting Petra like a pro and things to do in Amman so you have all the information you need to plan your trip!

Hot tip for visiting Petra: The Jordan Pass

If you’re planning to visit at least a few attractions in Jordan, getting the Jordan Pass is a no-brainer! It grants free entry to over 40 sites across the country, including Petra. Not only does the pass reduce time spent waiting at the ticket counter, it also waives your visa on arrival fee.

In order to get the Jordan Pass, there are a few stipulations. First, you must be qualified for a visa on arrival in Jordan. Your trip must also be at least three nights/four days, and you’re required to purchase your Jordan Pass before entering the country in order to get the cost of your visa waived.

Amman to Petra by car

For visitors interested in exploring Jordan on their own schedule, traveling by car is your best bet. There are several routes that go from Amman to Petra. 

Route 15 (Desert Highway)

• Distance: 230 kilometers / 143 miles
• Driving time: 3 hours

The quickest, most direct route from Amman to Petra by car follows the Desert Highway (Route 15) through Jordan’s center, with good signage and few intersections. Make sure not to miss the right turn to King’s Highway just before Ma’an, but otherwise, there’s little navigation required! While this route is the fastest, the downside is the relatively dull scenery. 

Route 65 (Dead Sea Highway)

• Distance: 251 kilometers / 156 miles
• Driving time: 4 hours

If you’re more of a “take the scenic route” type, another option for driving from Amman to Petra is down Route 65. This route, also known as the Dead Sea Highway, this is one of the lowest elevation highways in the entire world! It travels along the shore of the Dead Sea and passes Wadi Mujib Canyon. 

This route is just slightly longer than the Desert highway, but takes almost an hour longer to get from Amman to Petra. However, the turquoise sea beside you is exponentially more scenic. Plus is a great route to take if you plan to stop off and visit the Dead Sea , or hike Wadi Mujib Canyon (one of my favorite activities in Jordan!). 

Route 35 (King’s Highway)

• Distance: 266 kilometers / 165 miles
• Driving time: 5 hours

Finally, the most scenic way to get from Amman to Petra is via the King’s Highway, Route 35. Once used as an ancient trade route, this highway passes by Madaba, Mount Nebo, Dana Nature Preserve, and loads of other Jordan attractions . 

Although similar in length to the other routes, this highway is defined by countless twists and turns, steep hills, historic landmarks, and plenty of roadside viewpoints that mean you spend a lot more time driving. This is easily one of the best road trips through the country. 

Most travelers complete the King’s Highway drive from Amman to Petra in one day, but it’s easy to plan an overnight stop if you don’t want to feel rushed. The Dana Preserve is a great halfway point to rest, allowing for a short morning hike before hitting the road again. 

Tip: For an excellent overview of Jordan, you can also combine King’s Highway with Route 65. This showcases some of Jordan’s top attractions without passing the same sight twice. 

Is it safe to drive from Amman to Petra?

Driving in Jordan is perfectly safe for locals and foreigners alike. The roads in Jordan, especially the main routes that connect Amman to Petra, are in (mostly) great condition, so it’s easy enough to drive yourself. 

Traffic is a bit more chaotic in Amman, and that can be intimidating to some foreign drivers. However, once you’re outside of the city, you won’t run into much traffic. They drive on the right side of the road, same as in North America and most of Europe, so that’s easy enough to navigate if that’s what you’re used to. 

Experienced drivers should feel perfectly confident driving from Amman to Petra.  

Getting a rental car in Jordan

Adults must be at least 21 in order to rent a car in Jordan, and the country requires all drivers to have an international driver’s permit (IDP). As long as you have a valid driver’s license in your home country, you can get your international driver’s license here , for just $30 USD. They have urgent processing available to get your digital license within 15 minutes. 

Prices for car rentals in Jordan aren’t too steep, with daily rates between 25-40 JOD (approximately $35-55 USD). Especially if you’re splitting the cost with one or more travel partners, renting a car in Jordan is one of the most economical options for getting around on your own schedule. 

We put together a complete guide to getting a car rental in Jordan , with all the information you need to find the best price, including tips for driving in the country.

Search & Compare Rental Car Prices

• Discover Cars : We personally use this aggregate site to compare rental car prices from all the big name companies and get the best price possible. 
• Booking.com :  We’ve had good experiences finding rental cars with this site (formerly RentalCars.com) in the past. 

Keep in mind you’ll want to book in advance if you’re visiting during high season (March-May and September-November). 

Amman to Petra by private transfer

If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of driving yourself, a private transfer is a great option for traveling from Amman to Petra. Especially if you’re short on time, a transfer arranged directly from the Amman Airport to Petra and back may be the most efficient option. 

While it’s pricey, a private transfer is a fantastic option for larger groups who can travel in a bus, with prices as low as 12 JOD (about $17 USD) per person.

Transfer services depart from the Amman Airport, the Amman Visitor’s Center, or from a designated hotel. The airport is actually 30 minutes closer to Petra than the city itself, so if you’re low on time, book directly from the airport.

Here are a handful of private transfer companies offering service from Amman to Petra:

• Tourist Jordan : Cars, vans, and buses for 3-47 passengers with group rates starting at $195 USD
• Get Your Guide : Starting at $135 USD each way for 3 people
• My Transfers : $337 USD for up to 3 people in a luxury car

Amman to Petra by bus

The most affordable option (by far!) is to take a bus from Amman to Petra. With tickets as low as 3 JOD (about $4 USD) one-way, there’s no doubt this is the best transportation method for budget travelers. 

JETT buses from Amman to Petra

JETT, Jordan Express Tourist Transportation, caters specifically to international travelers. While pricier at 10 JOD ($14 USD) per trip, the buses are more comfortable and tickets can be purchased in advance. There’s also a restroom and AC onboard, huge advantages in the desert heat.

The JETT bus from Amman to Petra departs daily at 7:00 a.m. from 7th Circle JETT station or at 6:30 a.m. from the Abdali Jett station in Amman. 

Tickets can be purchased online or at the JETT office at the 7th Circe. The journey takes about three hours, arriving in Petra at 10:00 a.m. The return bus to Amman leaves nightly from Petra at 5:00 p.m., making for an easy day trip or quick overnight.

Local buses from Amman to Petra

If you’re looking for the most budget-friendly option, there are local mini buses that run from Amman to Petra with tickets costing 3-7 JOD ($4-10) per person. These depart from the South Bus Terminal station in Amman, and arrive at the Wadi Musa Minibus station .

These buses have 10-15 available seats each and don’t run on a schedule; instead, they depart when full. There is no AC and if you’re traveling with a large bag, you’ll be charged an extra fee — much like with budget airlines. 

Expect these local buses to take a bit longer going from Amman to Petra since they make several stops in small villages along the way. 

For travel in all Jordanian cities, minibus departures are even less frequent after 2:00 p.m. Additionally, if a bus doesn’t quite fill up, the driver may ask passengers to pay more per ticket, up to 10 JOD. 

Taking a local bus can be an immersive travel experience, but for the journey from Amman to Petra, sticking with JETT is recommended — especially during hot summer months. The AC alone warrants the extra cost! 

Amman to Petra by taxi

Intercity taxis are quite common in Jordan, with many carriers offering service from Amman to Petra. However, as you may expect, this is one of the more expensive transportation methods. 

Depending on who you ask, the price of taxis from Amman to Petra vary. A lot of websites mention typical costs for about 75-90 JOD ($105-125), which is from the Amman Airport (not the city center). You can expect to pay a bit more if traveling from the city center. 

Having said that, many people find traveling by taxi an attractive option because of the convenience. Taxis allow you to negotiate a custom itinerary; drivers can be hired for King’s Highway or Dead Sea road trips. With so many different Amman-based cab services available, inquiring at your accommodation is the best option.

Amman to Petra by rideshare

The popular rideshare app, Uber, works in Amman, Jordan. This is a great way to hire a last minute driver to take you from Amman to Petra. According to the app, rides to Petra will run you between 99-107 JOD ($140-150 USD), but that’s if you can get a driver to accept your ride (some may not want to drive the distance). 

One way I get around this is by talking to my Uber drivers while in the city. I took a lot of shorter Uber rides within Amman and had many drivers give me their cards. I even contacted a few of them to take me on longer trips. That way they can quote you ahead of time and prepare for the longer distance. 

Guided tours from Amman to Petra

If you’d like to leave all of the logistics to someone else, consider booking a tour from Amman to Petra. Here are a few highly recommended tour options from Amman:

• Petra private tour : This tour includes air-conditioned transportation by tour bus with hotel pick up and drop off in Amman and a private tour guide for Petra. Entrance fees to Petra are not included. 
• Petra by Night show tickets & hotel pick up : This tour includes air-conditioned transportation by tour bus with hotel pick up and drop off in Amman, and tickets to the Petra by Night show. 
• Petra & Wadi Rum day trip with hotel pick up : This tour combines a trip to Petra with the Wadi Rum desert before returning to Amman on the same day. 
• Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea 3-day tour : If you’re looking for an overnight experience, this tour has all the highlights covered in a well-organized 3-day trip. The price includes accommodation in Petra and Wadi Rum, plus a few extra excursions.
