Elise08 Jan 2011: I am traveling with my mother and a friend in March 2011. We are three single woman on a budget. I have planned several sites to visit but need more information regarding public transportation. We are spending four nights in Cairo and then plan to travel by bus into Jerusalem. I was only able to find one company that make that route, Mazada tours. Do you know of any other bus company that can accomindate us? We are also seeking transportation from Jerusalem into Ammon Airport. Our flight is departing from AMM. I again only found one company that can accomindate us. Do you have any suggestions? Please remember, we are on a budget. Thank you
