Saudi to Jordan private transfer: Aqaba, Petra, Wadi Rum & Amman
Pre-booked private car with a professional driver, door to door across the Halat Ammar and Al Durrah crossings. One fixed fare in writing before you book.
A Saudi to Jordan private transfer is a pre-booked car with a professional driver from north-west Saudi Arabia — Tabuk, NEOM, AlUla or Madinah — into Jordan by the shortest road. Trips to Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum cross inland at Halat Ammar–Al Mudawwara; trips to Aqaba, and from the NEOM coast, cross at Al Durrah near Haql. Border crossing fees are included in the fixed fare; border time varies, and each passenger carries their own valid documents.

Jordan to Saudi Arabia
Who this corridor serves and where we pick up
Every Jordan trip has four parts: your Saudi pickup (Tabuk, NEOM, AlUla or Madinah), the Saudi exit, Jordan entry, and the onward drive. Which crossing you use depends on where you are going. For Aqaba, the coast road leads to Al Durrah near Haql. For Petra, Wadi Rum and Amman, the inland road from Tabuk leads to Halat Ammar and Al Mudawwara, then Ma'an and the Desert Highway.
Short trips to Aqaba suit NEOM staff, Tabuk residents and Red Sea visitors. The longer Amman legs suit travellers who want one car from a Saudi city to the Jordanian capital; for the longest origins we will tell you honestly when flying is the better option.
What happens at the Halat Ammar and Al Durrah crossings
1. Saudi pickup
Tabuk, NEOM, AlUla or Madinah
Home, hotel, project site or airport pickup in north-west Saudi Arabia.
2. Saudi exit
Halat Ammar or Al Durrah
Halat Ammar for Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum; Al Durrah near Haql for Aqaba. Each passenger completes the checks in person.
3. Jordan entry
Al Mudawwara or Durra
Al Mudawwara leads on to Ma'an and the Desert Highway; Durra is about 30 km from Aqaba.
4. Onward in Jordan
Aqaba, Wadi Rum, Petra, Amman
Drop-off at your hotel, camp or address.
Two crossings serve our Jordan routes, and we always use the shorter road. Halat Ammar–Al Mudawwara, about 110 km north of Tabuk, is the inland crossing for Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum. Al Durrah–Durra, on the Gulf of Aqaba coast about 30 km from both Haql and Aqaba, is the crossing for Aqaba and for trips starting on the NEOM coast. Border processing time is never guaranteed.
Practical notes for Jordan trips
Shortest road, every time
From Tabuk, Amman is about 130 km shorter through Halat Ammar than via Aqaba. We use whichever crossing is shorter for your trip.
Border fees included
Border crossing fees for the vehicle are included in your fixed fare. Personal visa or entry fees are the passenger's own.
Camps and remote stays
For Wadi Rum camps, share the camp's meeting point — some camps collect guests from a village meeting point rather than the camp itself.
Long origins
From AlUla or Madinah to Amman the drive is very long. We will quote it, and also tell you if a flight plus a private car is the better plan.

Jordan cross-border transfer questions
Which border crossing do you use between Saudi Arabia and Jordan?
Whichever is shorter for your trip. Halat Ammar–Al Mudawwara, about 110 km north of Tabuk, for Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum. Al Durrah–Durra on the Gulf of Aqaba coast, near Haql, for Aqaba and for trips starting on the NEOM coast.
Can I take a private car from Tabuk to Aqaba?
Yes. A driver collects you in Tabuk and drives about 270 km west through Haql and across the Al Durrah crossing to your address in Aqaba. Each passenger completes their own exit and entry checks at the border.
Can you take me from Saudi Arabia to Petra or Wadi Rum?
Yes. Tabuk to Petra (about 275 km) and Tabuk to Wadi Rum (about 230 km) both cross at Halat Ammar–Al Mudawwara. AlUla to Petra or Wadi Rum can be quoted on request.
What documents do I need to enter Jordan by road from Saudi Arabia?
Each passenger needs a valid passport and the right to enter Jordan; Saudi residents generally also need a valid exit and re-entry visa. Entry rules depend on nationality and change, so confirm with official sources before travel. We do not arrange visas.
Do you operate taxis inside Jordan?
No. We arrange private cross-border transfers that start or end in Saudi Arabia. We are not a local Jordanian taxi service.
