Petra to Wadi Rum Destination Reviews

M
Ok but I will not do it again. The luggage were kept everywhere in the passage way, having to strap some on the roof. I live in Jordan and it’s the first time I experience something like this. The driver and the operator were nice and the little breakfast from the bakery was highly appreciated

They gave us warm bread and farafel on the way. Also they asked the next destination and offered the transport back to Amman with reasonable price. It was so helpful.
