Getting to Petra from Amman in Jordan
Let's say I fly into Queen Alia International Airport / Amman in Jordan. How would I get to Petra without renting a car?
Apparently there's a bus that'll take me from Abdali to Petra. Where's Abdali? wikipedia.org suggests that Abdali is, among other things, "Abdali Urban Regeneration Project, district in Amman, Jordan". That's nice, but saying the bus departs from there is about as useful as saying "we have a bus stop in Jordan; find it". Abdali is presumably a large district and scouring the whole district for one bus stop... seems like a bit of a waste of time.
Maybe I could use a service like this but it's not clear to me how that'd work. Do I just pick up a hotel and they'll pick me up from it? Do they pick the hotel? And if they're providing the food what kind of food do they have?
