Planning tips for this route
- Why Halat Ammar and not Al Durrah?. Going via Al Durrah and Aqaba adds about 130 km. Halat Ammar is the direct inland crossing for Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum.
- Plan it as a day. With the border and a rest stop it fills most of a day. Start in the morning.
- Break the trip at Petra. Petra is near Ma'an, just off the way. Ask for a multi-day quote with an overnight stop.
