Aqaba Getting out of Aqaba JETT buses for Amman leave in front of the excavations of Ayla, on the road to the Aqaba Hotel and the Aquamarina I hotel. There are minibuses to Petra and Wadi Rum leaving from the market in Aqaba.
Delays are frequent for the ferry.
Return trip from Nuweiba is at 3 pm for the ferry and 3.30 pm for the catamaran. Taxis got more expensive. Best to take the bus to Petra. Accommodation The Red Sea Hotel behind the Ali Baba restaurant probably gives you the best value for money in Aqaba. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly.
