Amman to Wadi Rum Destination Reviews

SO

This journey was serviced by a comfortable minibus, with coffee/toilet break in the middle. The driver was very nice, as well as the staff in Abdali Jett Office. We used Jett on three journeys during three days and all of them were good and on time. We can definitely recommend their services for a trip to Jordan, even the bus schedule is ideal for that (we opted for them as it we did not want to drive and it was a very good choice).
