Wadi Musa


The village serving Petra is called Wadi Musa. It is a hilly village that is nondescript, filled with little restaurants, little hotels, stores that sell souvenirs. The bus from Amman stops at a station near the entrance to Petra and if you are staying at a hotel near the entrance, you won't have to bother with the rest of Wadi Musa. There are a lot of buses between Amman and Petra. Many hotels in Amman offers day trips to Petra. The Express bus is the JETT bus. Just take a taxi to the JETT depot before 6.30am every morning, buy a ticket and be in Petra in 3 hours. It leaves everyday at 4pm from Petra for the return trip to Amman. We took this bus but stayed 3 days.
