We arrived in Aquaba from Nuweiba on the "fast ferry". We were at least 3 hours late. We took a taxi to petra. Our driver was very hospitable and took us to a great place for a late snack. We toured Petra the next day and also did "Petra by Night". Although this was a bit touristy it was a highlight of our entire trip. Our driver also helped us with banking and shopping. We used him to take us from Petra to Amman.
