Direct buses from Aqaba leave two to three times a day during the high season (Spring and Autumn) - the last regular bus leaves at 1pm. During the low season (summer and winter) it is less regular: there is a daily minibus from Wadi Rum Village to Aqaba that leaves at 6:30am, arriving about 7:30am, and this returns when it is full or the driver feels like it.
However, you can simply jump on any bus headed to Amman, Ma'an or Petra and get off at the Wadi Rum Intersection mentioned above. The minibus journey should cost around 3JD per person.
A private taxi from Aqaba will cost you 15-25JD depending on where you are in the city, but will take you to the Visitor's Centre where your guide will meet you. Taxis from the Israeli border will probably cost 20-25 JD.
