As A British Citizen, Do I Need Visa Jordan

Entry requirements

The information on this page covers the most common types of travel and reflects the UK government’s understanding of the rules currently in place. Unless otherwise stated, this information is for travellers using a full ‘British Citizen’ passport.

The authorities in the country or territory you’re travelling to are responsible for setting and enforcing the rules for entry. If you’re unclear about any aspect of the entry requirements, or you need further reassurance, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate of the country or territory you’re travelling to.

You should also consider checking with your transport provider or travel company to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements.

Visas

You’ll need a visa to enter Jordan. You can get a single entry visa valid for 1 month on arrival at the airports or the Sheikh Hussein/North Border crossing at the Jordan/Israel border.

Check with the Jordanian authorities if you’re planning to cross the Wadi Araba/south border crossing (Aqaba/Eilat) or the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge.

An exit tax, currently 10JD, is payable at all border crossings, except the airports.

If you wish to combine travel to Jordan with a visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, it’s usually better to get a multiple entry visa before you travel from the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in London.

You can extend your visa after you arrive in Jordan up to a maximum period of 6 months. If you overstay your visa you will be fined.

If you’re entering for tourism you can get a combination of a visa and reduced cost entry to the major tourism sites by applying for a Jordan Pass online.

Passport validity

Your passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry into Jordan.

Previous travel to Israel

Evidence of a previous visit to Israel like an Israeli entry/exit stamp in your passport does not normally cause any difficulties when entering Jordan. It is, however, for the Jordanian authorities to determine the right of entry into the country. If you have any concerns, you should contact the Consulate of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in London.

Yellow fever certificate requirements

Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate by visiting the National Travel Health Network and Centre’s TravelHealthPro website.

HIV test

You must undergo an HIV test if you intend to stay in Jordan for more than 30 days, either as a resident or as a long-term visitor. The fee to obtain the health certificate is currently 20 Jordanian Dinars.

Dual nationals

If you are a British/Jordanian national, you are allowed to use your British passport on arrival, but will need to show your Jordanian passport on departure.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK emergency travel documents are accepted for entry, transit and exit from Jordan. However, for entry and transit using an emergency travel document, you’ll need to get a visa from the Jordanian Embassy in the country where the document was issued. For exit using an emergency travel document, you’ll need to get a stamp from the Immigration & Residency department in Amman (not at the airport). A minimum of one month remaining validity is required on an emergency travel document.

Israel – Jordan border crossing: Ultimate guide 2019

The following guide is updated as of 2019. If you have any more updated information, kindly, let me know and I will update it accordingly.

The Israeli – Jordan border crossing is one of the few overland borders in the Middle East which can be crossed. Jordan and Israel are not the best friends in the world but both countries signed a peace agreement some decades ago so, surprisingly, travel to Jordan from Israel (and vice-versa) is pretty easy and straightforward.

However, this is the Middle East, which means that there is a bunch of confusing rules you should know before crossing such a border.

Read: A travel guide to Palestine (Tips + 2-week itinerary)

Here you will find:

Travel tips Allenby / King Hussein Bridge

Israel to Jordan

Jordan to Israel

Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border

Israel to Jordan

Jordan to Israel

Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein border

A Virtual Private Network allows you to access blocked sites when you travel, as well as it lets you access content only available in your home country (like Netflix), plus it prevents hackers from stealing your personal data. Learn here all the reasons to use a VPN for traveling

Things to know before crossing the border

Don’t trust any information coming from an official source – If there is something I learned after 3 years of living in the Middle East is that, when it comes to bureaucracy stuff, you can’t trust the local authorities. The Middle East is the most chaotic, changing and flexible region, I have ever been. This means that you should always take any information coming from any authority, including embassies, with a grain of salt.

For example, the Official Jordan Tourism board says that the Wadi Araba border doesn’t issue visas since January 2016. Well, this information is totally wrong, as I got a visa on arrival in April 2017. With this, I am not saying that my information is right and theirs is wrong but, at least, I try to keep this post updated based on information from travelers who crossed the border recently.

Border timings – All borders are open every day, except during some specific Jewish holidays. You can find a very detailed schedule here.

Israeli stamps – Israelis doesn’t stamp your passport anymore but, if you enter Jordan overland, the stamp says that you came from Israel. I strongly recommend you read my very updated post: Avoid Israeli stamps – FAQ.

Crossing with your own vehicle – Entering Jordan from Israel (and vice-versa) in your own vehicle is possible but, if you plan to do a road trip in Jordan with an Israeli car, you might find your windows broken on the next day, so it’s definitely not a good idea. Israeli people change their license plate to Jordanian one at the border.

Israeli visa – Most high GDP countries, including EU countries, the USA, Canada and Australia can get a free visa on arrival for Israel via any port of entry. If you are not sure about your passport, contact the Israeli embassy.

Jordanian visa – Like for Israel, most people can get their visa on arrival EXCEPT if you try to enter via King Hussein bridge, the only border that requires having a pre-arranged visa.

Being interrogated by the Israeli authorities – When you cross from Israel to Jordan, the Israeli authorities are pretty friendly and they don’t give you too much hassle. It’s when you enter Israel from Jordan that you may be interrogated for some time.

However, there’s nothing to worry about. Just answer their questions and you won’t have any trouble. Once, I entered Israel with stamps and visas from UAE, Lebanon, Iraq, Oman and Iran and nothing happened. However, some travelers have reported different experiences. Read more about it: Avoid Israeli stamps – FAQ.

Getting from the different borders to the cities – At all the borders, there will be taxis waiting for you. At the Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border, you are not allowed to go to Aqaba City by foot (3km). They claim it’s a military road but, in my opinion, they just say that, so you are forced to take a taxi.

Normally, the taxi fares are set at all the borders and you should find a signboard, saying the price of each destination, including Wadi Rum, Petra and places like that. However, one piece of advice: border taxi fares are fairly expensive. If you are on a budget, you should take a taxi to the nearest city and take a bus from there.

Hey, have you ever wondered how I make a full living from blogging? Learn here how I started monetizing my blog and get over 200,000 monthly page views in less than 3 years

You can pay by card at the border – According to two different travelers, it’s possible today to pay by credit or debit card at the different borders, at least at both Allenby and Wadi Araba borders.

Remember to have proper travel insurance for both Israel and Jordan. For this, I recommend you read: How to find the best travel insurance

Israel – Jordan border crossing: The rules in each border

For crossing from Israel to Jordan (and vice-versa) there are three open borders.

Which one should you go through? Well, each border has its own specific rules, so it will all depend on your time, money and final destination.

Jordan – Israel border crossing Map

1 – The Israel-Jordan border crossing at Allenby / King Hussein Bridge

This is the border located in Jericho, which is also very close to Amman.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Good if:

Very convenient if you are planning to go Amman and you are in Jerusalem or Jericho.

Cons:

Jordanian visa is not available on arrival, which means that you’d have to apply for it at the Jordanian Embassy in Ramallah. According to a German traveler who applied for it in March 2017, it costs 100USD and you get it at the moment.

The Israeli exit fee is more expensive than any other border: 176ISL (50USD) vs 105ISL (29USD).

It’s 220 kilometers from Petra and 320km from Wadi Rum, which means that it’s not the most convenient one if you’re going in this direction.

Important! If you fly into Jordan, enter Israel overland (from Jordan) and plan to re-enter Jordan again, you need to know that the visas issued at Queen Aila airport are only valid for one single entry.

However, one exception applies. You’ll be allowed to re-enter Jordan on the same visa ONLY if: you exit and re-enter from Allenby / King Hussein Bridge.

How to get to Allenby / King Hussein Bridge border (from Israel)

From Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, there are direct minibusses.

Price: 40ISL (1USD1) + 5ISL (1.40USD) for luggage.

Alternatively, you can travel to Jericho (Palestine) on a local bus (it’s only a couple of kilometers from the border) and stay there for 1 or 2 days.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Pros:

If you are planning to go to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and you are in Amman, this border is really convenient.

Unlike when you come from Israel to Jordan, the Israeli visa is available on arrival.

Cons:

If you spent more than 2 nights in Jordan, you will have to pay a departure tax of 10JD (14USD).

If you are in Petra or Wadi Rum, this border is very, very far.

How to get to Allenby / King Hussein Bridge border (from Jordan)

A bus to the border costs 8JD (11.30USD) but be aware that the station is a bit far and a taxi costs 5JD (7.50USD).

Therefore, if you travel with someone else, it is more convenient to go directly by taxi the border, as the local price for a taxi is 26JD (36USD). Ask your hotel/hostel to arrange it for you.

Once you crossed the border successfully, the shuttle bus to Jerusalem costs 7.50JD per person plus 1.50JD per bag.

Route to Allenby bridge (Crossing from Jordan to Israel)

Where to stay in Jerusalem

Budget Hostel – Abraham Hostel – The most famous hostel in Israel is a massive building located at the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem. The owners are great and they organize all sort of activities: from endless tours to pub crawls and much more. This is one of the greatest hostels I have ever been.

Welcome to Jordan (Jordan border crossing)

2 – The Jordan – Israel border crossing at Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border

This is the southern border, shared between the Israeli city of Eilat and the Jordanian city of Aqaba.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Pros:

At this border, there’s a FREE VISA available on arrival, with some exceptions (see below). They will give you the Independent Travelers’ Entry Manifest through South Wadi Araba Crossing Border”, which you need to keep upon your departure. It’s very important not to lose it.

The Israeli exit fee is only 105ISL.

Very convenient if you are going to Petra (130km) and also Wadi Rum (64km).

Cons:

It’s very far from Jerusalem and Amman (300km and 340km, respectively).

There’s a FREE VISA but, if you are one of the exceptions, it can be really expensive.

Important information – You may have read from different sources (including the official Jordanian website) that they are not giving free visas anymore at this border. The truth is that they have been saying this since May 2017 but there is not a single traveler I know who has paid for their visa since then. As I told you at the beginning, you shouldn’t trust any official source but just facts from travelers. Further updates regarding this topic are more than welcome.

Exceptions: The visa is free but only if you plan to stay in Jordan for more than 2 nights.

This is what would happen if you stayed less than 3 nights:

If you spend 1 night or less in Jordan and come back to Israel through the same border (Wadi Araba), you’ll have to pay a 60JD fee upon your exit.

If you stay 2 nights and you also come back to Israel through the same border (Wadi Araba), you’ll just pay a 10JD fee.

If you exit through a different border than Wadi Araba, you will always pay a flat fee of 10JD, regardless of the visa type and length of your stay in Jordan.

Furthermore, if you leave Jordan by plane, you won’t have to pay any extra fee, regardless of how many nights you stayed there.

How to get to Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (from Israel)

There are direct buses from Jerusalem Central Bus station to the Israeli city called Eilat.

I’m not sure about the price as I traveled there from Jericho but, from Jericho, I paid 60ISL.

Read: Lebanon 2-week itinerary

How to cross from Jordan into Israel

Pros:

Very convenient if you are already in Petra (130km) or Wadi Rum (64km).

If you had entered Jordan through this border and spent more than 2 nights, you won’t have to pay any exit fee.

Cons:

If you had previously entered Jordan through this border and only stayed 1 or 2 nights, you may end up paying a lot of money.

If you are in Amman, don’t use this border

How to get to Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (from Jordan)

From Aqaba, you can take a taxi the border and, from Eilat, there are buses to many places around Israel.

Read: How to travel to Syria (Visa + Tips)

Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (Israel Jordan border)

Where to stay in Eilat

Backpacker Hostel – Almog Eilat Backpacker’s Inn – One of the most budget options in Eilat is a pretty cool, modern hostel.

Click here to see the latest prices

Nicer – Palm Diving resort – Not a resort but a cool house with a garden that has really decent budget rooms. In fact, this is one of Eilat’s favorites.

Click here to see the latest prices

Where to stay in Aqaba

Aqaba has great accommodation but it’s a little bit pricey and the cool places are meant to relax and stay, at least, for a few days, as they are right next to the beach. However, I do recommend staying in Aqaba for a few days and go snorkeling (or diving) in the Red Sea.

Beach Hostel – Darna Village Beach Hostel – One of the best-rated hostels in Aqaba and the most backpacker friendly. Darna is just 50 meters from the beach and the coral reefs.

Click here to check the latest prices

Budget Hotel – Aqaba Roza – A very decent budget hotel located in a very central location. I would say this is a very functional place for those just transiting in Aqaba.

Click here to check the latest prices

The Dead Sea road to Eilat

3 – Israel – Jordan border crossing at Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein

This is the least transited border, located in the north.

How to cross from Israel to Jordan

Pros:

Visa is available on arrival.

It’s very close to the Roman ruins of Jerash (50km).

The Israeli exit fee is 105ISL.

If your destination is Amman and you don’t have a visa, you should use this border, instead of Wadi Araba.

Cons:

You have to pay for the Jordanian visa, which costs 40JD.

It’s so far away from both Petra and Wadi Rum. If these are your destinations, you shouldn’t enter through this border.

How to get to Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein border (from Israel)

From Jerusalem Central bus station, there are daily buses (except for Shabbat) to Beit She’an (7km away from the border). Price: 42ISL. From here to the border, you will have to take a taxi.

The nearest city is called Irbid and taxis charge around 20JD. From there, you will easily find a public bus to anywhere in Jordan.

How to cross from Jordan to Israel

Pros:

Good if you are in Jerash

Cons

To be honest, unless you are already in Jerash or somewhere in the north, there is no reason to use this border for entering Israel, as King Hussein bridge is much faster and more convenient.

These are the rules that apply on each border. I entered Jordan through Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border because it was visa-free. It was not the most convenient one for me, as my final destination was Amman (I had my flight to Pakistan on the next day) but, for 6JD ($9), I took a bus from Aqaba to Amman (5-6h). If you have any more up-to-date information or you think there is something wrong, let me know! Safe travels!

<p>Hamas' survival strategy</p>

The credibility crisis between Hamas and Fatah regarding the reconciliation agreement signed by both parties Oct. 12 can no longer be dismissed. Differences of opinion have deepened, and in the last round of talks in Cairo on Nov. 21, the post-signing smiles were replaced by anger and open recriminations. It might seem that the gaps between the sides can't be bridged.

The first to express his frustration and declare that the reconciliation had reached a dead end was the delegation member, Hamas official Salah Bardawil. In a video clip that he disseminated (and then deleted soon afterward, evidently under Egyptian pressure), Bardawil grumbled that Fatah is hoping to sabotage the reconciliation. The Hamas official decisively declared though his motion was determined not to adopt any drastic actions in the meantime that the talks had failed.

On the other hand, Hussein al-Sheikh, the Fatah delegation member to the talks, accused Hamas as the party accountable for placing obstacles in their path. Sheikh contended that the Palestinian government wasn't given responsibility for even 5% of the Palestinian Authority's (PA's) civil spheres of responsibility from the Strip, and that the weapons issue hasn't been resolved at all. Sheikh argued that Hamas doesn't actually accept the "one weapon, one law" principle, where the PA is the sole governing and security authority.

Israeli observers are keenly following the talks. As my colleague Ben Caspit composed in Al-Monitor, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made statements contrary to the reconciliation, Israel was actually trying to do what it can to make the reconciliation triumph, almost from the moment the plan was conceived. Israel supported the reconciliation because of Egyptian and American pressure. And there was probably the part of the clear interest in resolving the crisis of Israel.

Members of Israel's security system hold that in spite of Egypt's attempts to promote the Palestinian reconciliation and regardless of Egypt's threats to either side, both Hamas and Fatah are trying to stonewall the talks so as not to be blamed for the failure of the reconciliation. By opening the Rafah crossing on condition of 26, Hamas longs to maintain the breath of fresh air. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, for his part, desperately desires the support for his planned actions in the end of his tenure of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Therefore, despite the distrust between the fundamentals that are clear understanding that neither side is really and truly ready to forfeit or compromise on its own iron and the sides, Hamas and Fatah continue to go through the motions of debate and discussions.

According to an Israeli security source who spoke on condition of anonymity, Hamas' actions are especially interesting because it teaches us. Research analysis shows us that the fundamental pillar of the strategy is that so as to survive until the winds change direction, of stalling for time.

Hamas is a movement whose DNA requires it to take a break when its position deteriorates. Thus, for example, every time that Hamas was felled by the Israel Defense Forces and weakened almost existentially, it initiated a "tahidya" (calm) that enabled it to endure, rehabilitate itself and then strengthen itself.

The source said Hamas leaders now seek an inner and regional tahidya which will allow the movement to endure the difficult days in the first phase and then consolidate its vision for the future in the second phase. The source said Hamas' goal is to conquer the fundamental government, which would enable the movement to maintain and preserve its important assets, largely its military wing. In other words, it seems that the Hamas movement has its eyes fixed on beating the West Bank.

In October, it was publicized that Jordanian King Abdullah II rejected the petition of Khaled Meshaal, the former head of Hamas' political bureau, to start a Hamas office in Amman, evidently as part of the plans of the former leader to conquer the PA presidency from the post-Abbas era.

At the onset of the Cairo talks a week, the two sides declared that they had come to an agreement on holding PA elections in the end of 2018. It was before resolving the issues the Hamas delegation that had pushed to set a date for elections, even. From Hamas' point of view, that is enough time for it to benefit from this tahidya plan for the elections and to organize itself.

According to the security source, Hamas' vision has accommodated itself to the fact in such as Abbas' demand that Hamas disarm itself as a precondition for reconciliation. As Hamas sees it, its only option is to conquer the PA, when Hamas took over the Gaza Strip, just like in 2006. At that time, Hamas came to the conclusion that its only option was elections, although Hamas at the time didn't imagine it would achieve a rousing victory and also had its back to the wall.

Towards the end of the second intifada (March-April 2004), Israel began a series of targeted killings of Hamas' diplomatic leadership. Within a month, his successor Abdel al-Rantisi and Sheikh Ahmed Yassin were removed. The movement's leadership, led by Meshaal, was forced to create a historic strategic agreement: to stop the suicide attacks against Israelis, stop the intifada (Hamas was one the intifada's prime leaders) and transform the movement's center of gravity to politics instead of terror. So in order to survive, Hamas decided to arrange itself toward elections. Nowadays, it may have arrived at the same decision for the same reasons.

A future victory from the 2018 elections, even when the "one weapon, one law" option is on the table, will allow Hamas to retain its assets. Until then, for it to do all that remains would be to play with reconciliation games.

"In this long time period, anything can happen," the source concluded. Like in the Yiddish tale, "either the nobleman will die or the puppy will die." In other words: Either Abbas will resign or something else dramatic will occur that will cause the people to forget all about the dismantling of the wing, Hamas' pride and joy and bastion of strength.

Israel – Jordan border crossing: Ultimate guide 2019

The following guide is updated as of 2019. If you have any more updated information, kindly, let me know and I will update it accordingly.

However, this is the Middle East, which means that there is a bunch of confusing rules you should know before crossing such a border.

Read: A travel guide to Palestine (Tips + 2-week itinerary)

Here you will find:

Travel tips Allenby / King Hussein Bridge

Israel to Jordan

Jordan to Israel

Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border

Israel to Jordan

Jordan to Israel

Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein border

Israel to Jordan

Jordan to Israel

Things to know before crossing the border

Border timings – All borders are open every day, except during some specific Jewish holidays. You can find a very detailed schedule here.

Jordanian visa – Like for Israel, most people can get their visa on arrival EXCEPT if you try to enter via King Hussein bridge, the only border that requires having a pre-arranged visa.

Hey, have you ever wondered how I make a full living from blogging? Learn here how I started monetizing my blog and get over 200,000 monthly page views in less than 3 years

Remember to have proper travel insurance for both Israel and Jordan. For this, I recommend you read: How to find the best travel insurance

Israel – Jordan border crossing: The rules in each border

For crossing from Israel to Jordan (and vice-versa) there are three open borders.

Which one should you go through? Well, each border has its own specific rules, so it will all depend on your time, money and final destination.

Jordan – Israel border crossing Map

1 – The Israel-Jordan border crossing at Allenby / King Hussein Bridge

This is the border located in Jericho, which is also very close to Amman.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Good if:

Very convenient if you are planning to go Amman and you are in Jerusalem or Jericho.

Cons:

The Israeli exit fee is more expensive than any other border: 176ISL (50USD) vs 105ISL (29USD).

It’s 220 kilometers from Petra and 320km from Wadi Rum, which means that it’s not the most convenient one if you’re going in this direction.

However, one exception applies. You’ll be allowed to re-enter Jordan on the same visa ONLY if: you exit and re-enter from Allenby / King Hussein Bridge.

How to get to Allenby / King Hussein Bridge border (from Israel)

From Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, there are direct minibusses.

Price: 40ISL (1USD1) + 5ISL (1.40USD) for luggage.

Alternatively, you can travel to Jericho (Palestine) on a local bus (it’s only a couple of kilometers from the border) and stay there for 1 or 2 days.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Pros:

If you are planning to go to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and you are in Amman, this border is really convenient.

Unlike when you come from Israel to Jordan, the Israeli visa is available on arrival.

Cons:

If you spent more than 2 nights in Jordan, you will have to pay a departure tax of 10JD (14USD).

If you are in Petra or Wadi Rum, this border is very, very far.

How to get to Allenby / King Hussein Bridge border (from Jordan)

A bus to the border costs 8JD (11.30USD) but be aware that the station is a bit far and a taxi costs 5JD (7.50USD).

Therefore, if you travel with someone else, it is more convenient to go directly by taxi the border, as the local price for a taxi is 26JD (36USD). Ask your hotel/hostel to arrange it for you.

Once you crossed the border successfully, the shuttle bus to Jerusalem costs 7.50JD per person plus 1.50JD per bag.

Welcome to Jordan (Jordan border crossing)

2 – The Jordan – Israel border crossing at Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border

This is the southern border, shared between the Israeli city of Eilat and the Jordanian city of Aqaba.

How to cross from Israel into Jordan

Pros:

The Israeli exit fee is only 105ISL.

Very convenient if you are going to Petra (130km) and also Wadi Rum (64km).

Cons:

It’s very far from Jerusalem and Amman (300km and 340km, respectively).

There’s a FREE VISA but, if you are one of the exceptions, it can be really expensive.

Exceptions: The visa is free but only if you plan to stay in Jordan for more than 2 nights.

This is what would happen if you stayed less than 3 nights:

If you spend 1 night or less in Jordan and come back to Israel through the same border (Wadi Araba), you’ll have to pay a 60JD fee upon your exit.

If you stay 2 nights and you also come back to Israel through the same border (Wadi Araba), you’ll just pay a 10JD fee.

If you exit through a different border than Wadi Araba, you will always pay a flat fee of 10JD, regardless of the visa type and length of your stay in Jordan.

Furthermore, if you leave Jordan by plane, you won’t have to pay any extra fee, regardless of how many nights you stayed there.

How to get to Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (from Israel)

There are direct buses from Jerusalem Central Bus station to the Israeli city called Eilat.

I’m not sure about the price as I traveled there from Jericho but, from Jericho, I paid 60ISL.

Read: Lebanon 2-week itinerary

How to cross from Jordan into Israel

Pros:

Very convenient if you are already in Petra (130km) or Wadi Rum (64km).

If you had entered Jordan through this border and spent more than 2 nights, you won’t have to pay any exit fee.

Cons:

If you had previously entered Jordan through this border and only stayed 1 or 2 nights, you may end up paying a lot of money.

If you are in Amman, don’t use this border

How to get to Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (from Jordan)

From Aqaba, you can take a taxi the border and, from Eilat, there are buses to many places around Israel.

Read: How to travel to Syria (Visa + Tips)

Wadi Araba / Yitzhak Rabin border (Israel Jordan border)

Where to stay in Eilat

Backpacker Hostel – Almog Eilat Backpacker’s Inn – One of the most budget options in Eilat is a pretty cool, modern hostel.

Click here to see the latest prices

Nicer – Palm Diving resort – Not a resort but a cool house with a garden that has really decent budget rooms. In fact, this is one of Eilat’s favorites.

Click here to see the latest prices

Where to stay in Aqaba

Beach Hostel – Darna Village Beach Hostel – One of the best-rated hostels in Aqaba and the most backpacker friendly. Darna is just 50 meters from the beach and the coral reefs.

Click here to check the latest prices

Budget Hotel – Aqaba Roza – A very decent budget hotel located in a very central location. I would say this is a very functional place for those just transiting in Aqaba.

Click here to check the latest prices

The Dead Sea road to Eilat

3 – Israel – Jordan border crossing at Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein

This is the least transited border, located in the north.

How to cross from Israel to Jordan

Pros:

Visa is available on arrival.

It’s very close to the Roman ruins of Jerash (50km).

The Israeli exit fee is 105ISL.

If your destination is Amman and you don’t have a visa, you should use this border, instead of Wadi Araba.

Cons:

You have to pay for the Jordanian visa, which costs 40JD.

It’s so far away from both Petra and Wadi Rum. If these are your destinations, you shouldn’t enter through this border.

How to get to Beit She’an / Sheikh Hussein border (from Israel)

From Jerusalem Central bus station, there are daily buses (except for Shabbat) to Beit She’an (7km away from the border). Price: 42ISL. From here to the border, you will have to take a taxi.

The nearest city is called Irbid and taxis charge around 20JD. From there, you will easily find a public bus to anywhere in Jordan.

How to cross from Jordan to Israel

Pros:

Good if you are in Jerash

Cons

To be honest, unless you are already in Jerash or somewhere in the north, there is no reason to use this border for entering Israel, as King Hussein bridge is much faster and more convenient.
