wadi rum by bus
Wadi Rum only has a direct bus connection to Petra (Wadi Musa), Aqaba and Amman. If you travel from another place, you must first travel to Petra, Aqaba, or Amman to change busses, before you can get to Wadi Rum. For more information on bus schedules, you can visit the JETT website. You can also buy your ticket online in advance. It is best to physically visit the bus station or ask your hotel for the correct information, since the website doesn’t always show the right times.
If you travel with a local minibus, keep in mind that these busses don’t always depart on time, they usually wait until the bus is full, and local people are given priority. The local bus doesn’t run on Fridays and national/Islamic holidays.
Also keep in mind that not all buses that drive to Wadi Rum, will bring you all the way to our meeting point. Some busses stop at the Visitors Center or on the highway.
