bus station locations - from Amman-Madaba-Dead Sea-Wadi Musa-Wadi Rum-Aqaba

If you want to see "as much as possible", a rented car is the "best" option but try to have a realistic program otherwise it should be frustrating.
Using public transports is not problematic at all but, of course, they are not always leaving when you want but when they are full...
The different "bus stations" or starting points of public transports are indicated in the guidebooks. You need only to choose one...

hi what are your dates? I am also from the US and traveling solo from March 25-30

Most of people speak English and then, it's always easy to have the good information.
You will ask for the different bus stations when you will be there.

Hey Druan234 -

I'll be there from April 10 to 16 then in Israel from 17 to 20. What are your plans so far?

I will be there next week from Mar 25-30

I got that. I meant, where are you going and how are you getting from one place to the next?

Solo traveler there are western orientated hotels and hostels both in Jordan and in Israel.I recommend Abrahm hostel in Jerusalem.
You meet like minded people and make travel friends.the hotel arrange for tours to share .cost is usually split 4 ways .
In Jordan average cost per day 16 jod .Hotels can arrange for tours to all tourists sites in the country.
You find these special hotels and hostels in downtown Amman where all tourists attractions are located and of course shops remain open till late every night.
cheers

hi-- after some research into buses and taxis, I have decided to rent a car for the time that I am there. It seems to be the cheapest option and gives me the flexibility I need. I have read driving is easy and you drive on the right which is the same as the US. Driving in Amman might be tricky but I am ready for the challenge! I recommend you do the same, I saw good deals for cars on kayak.com for $30 -$40 a day, all inclusive except gas.

Hey Duran,

I briefly considered that but I'm crossing to Israel from Aqaba. Do you know if the rental companies would allow you to return to another location? I don't want to drive back up to Amman from Petra/Wadi Rum and then go back down again. What sites are you planning on seeing?
