There are daily services to Aqaba and Petra. Shared taxis to Petra should be booked in advance owing to demand. Drivers are available for the day. However, an International Driving Permit is recommended. Visitors are not allowed to drive a vehicle with normal Jordanian plates unless they have a Jordanian driving licence.
Vehicles often fill up at central or outer terminal points and then run non-stop.
