Petra to Aqaba Destination Reviews

MA
Mako A
He was a very good driver. First of all, he replied to my messages quickly the day before, which gave me peace of mind. On the day of the trip, he arrived right on time to pick us up. During the drive, he explained many things about Jordan, and we were able to really enjoy the ride. I would love to ask him for transportation again when I come back to Jordan!
