King Hussein Bridge/Border Crossing(Allenby Border)
Location:
Located in the southern Jordan Valley, 57 km from Amman, 220 km from Petra, and 320 km from Wadi Rum. On the Palestinian side, it is near Jericho.
Important Note:
Please note that border procedures, costs, and regulations may change without prior notice. While we strive to keep you updated, we cannot control these changes. Be prepared to remain flexible with any border crossing.
This is the most famous crossing and the primary point for Palestinians to travel within the region. It is also the closest border crossing for tourists arriving in Jordan from Jerusalem.
Jordanian Perspective on the Crossing:
Jordanians do not view this crossing as an official border since it enters the West Bank. Therefore, travelers can cross and return through this point only with a single-entry Jordan visa, typically obtained at the airport. If arriving on a manifest, the departure and re-entry details must be clearly stated. Otherwise, a visa fee will apply (see notes below).
