Jordan River Crossing

The Jordan River Crossing (Hebrew: מסוף נהר ירדן, Arabic: معبر نهر الأردن) or Sheikh Hussein Bridge is the northern international border crossing between Jordan and Israel.

The Sheikh Hussein Bridge was opened in November 1994, and is the northernmost entry/exit point between Israel and Jordan.

The crossing is open for individuals (including tourists and private cars): Cargo terminal operating hours: On weekends, those departing from Israel to Jordan by private vehicles can access the departure hall until 6pm.

For drivers entering with a private car, International Driving Permits can be issued at the MEMSI branch at the Israeli terminal.

Jordanian visa is available on arrival to Israeli citizens, issued at the Jordanian terminal and costs JD10 for travellers who are planning to stay in Jordan for at least 3 nights and JD40 for travellers who are planning on staying there for a shorter period (a fee of JD120 is charged for multiple entry valid six months); however, all Israeli tourists visiting Jordan need to hire a escorting Jordanian guide in advance.
