I would like to go to Petra and I saw the hotels are alot cheaper in Aqaba rather than Eilat
How does one get from from the Eilat Airport to the hotel areas in Aqaba?

I saw somewhere that taxis were not allowed to pick you up at border and take directly to Hotel, but rather had to go to the Bus Station. What do the Taxis cost to the major hotels?
What is the Israel and Jordan Exit tax?

Is an organized tour the best way to get to Petra?
The taxis waiting at the border can take you anywhere you want to go. If your hotel is in the center of Aqaba the price will be around 10 JOD, if your hotel is in Tala Bay the price probably doubles.
You don't need an organised tour to go to Petra, you get in a taxi and 2 hours later you will be in Petra. The price for a one way transfer should not be more than 40 or 45 JOD (one way!!) if your hotel is in Tala Bay. If you want to go back to Aqaba after your visit then you can arrange with the driver to wait for you and pay him a little extra on top of the transfer fee for this or you can just take one of the taxis waiting near the entrance of Petra to get back. Have a great time !

Is it still cheaper to visit Petra if I stay in Aqaba as opposed to staying in Eliat?
A website says is 90 JD if on a Day trip to Jordan or 50 JD if I am staying overnight in Jordan
What Proof do I need to show I am staying Aqaba? The Hotel Bill?
Do the Taxi drivers Speak English. I do not speak or read Arabic
Maybe consider arriving a day early and staying the night at one if the hotels at Petra. That way you get a full day at Petra. The site is big and you will be hustling it to remotely come close to seeing it all.
Might even consider spending two days in Petra to see it, that's if time permits. Also there is the Petra by night which you might want to do. I think it is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Someone please correct me if I have the dates wrong.
I guess you fit in what you can with the time you have.
Enjoy your vacation. I am envious of you.
