You can take a taxi to ensure you reach the Rum village easily.

You can rent a car from Aqaba or Amman for around 30JD per day. Travelling in Jordan is straightforward: signs are in English and an international driver’s license is not required. Wadi Rum is accessible from the Desert Highway, which runs from Amman to Aqaba - just look for the turn-off, which is indicated by numerous road signs. Wadi Rum is about 30km from the highway.

But if you're not in a hurry, take another road like Kings' Highway or Jordan Valley Road (No. 65).

From Petra

The best option is to have your hotel book you a seat on the minibus that leaves between 6 - 6:30am (arrival approx. 8:30am) daily at a cost of 7 JD p.p. If you want to depart later, take a taxi for 35 JD total. It takes 1hr30-2 hours.

From Aqaba

There is a bus around 1pm but it does not run on Fridays and Saturdays. We can arrange a taxi for 20 JD from downtown Aqaba, and 25 JD from Aqaba South beach, Eilat border or the port.

From Amman

Take the Jett Bus to Aqaba (10JD) then take a taxi from Aqaba for 20 JD. Please note that Wadi Rum Village is without street signage, so we advise you to ring your camp provider when you arrive at the Visitors Center Wadi Rum so he can meet you at the entrance of the village

Your provider can book a taxi which will collect you at any time you wish to leave.

To Petra

There is minibus, which leaves every morning between 8:30 - 9am from Rum village at a cost of 7 JD. If you want to leave later, then he can arrange a taxi for 35 JD.

To Aqaba

A taxi costs 25 JD to Aqaba city and 30 JD to Aqaba South Beach, Eilat border or the port. Many guidebooks mention a bus to Aqaba in the morning. It exists but is unfortunately unreliable. This is not a tourist bus - it is a bus for the residents of Rum Village to go to school, work, doctor or other business. It leaves between 6 and 7am, before you will return to the village from the camp. It does not run on Fridays and Saturdays, or any other day that the driver decides not to run - for whatever reason.

To Amman

Take a taxi to Aqaba Jett Bus Station for 25 JD, and from the station there are frequent buses to Amman everyday for a cost of 10JD.

But if provider have other reservations on your arrival date, and they don't mind you joining, he will be happy to give you the group price. However, he can make no guarantees about this availability.
