# In northern Israel, next to [[Beit She'an]], you can cross in the "Jordan River"/"Sheikh Hussein" border crossing, from which it is quite straight forward if you continue onwards to Amman.
My partner and I hitchhiked across this border in April 2019.
It is not allowed to walk across the border ! So you have 2 options :
- you can take the shuttle bus across the noman's land (its costs 5 shekels in April 2019)
- you can take hitchhike a car just before the border but be aware that there are not so many cars going through. We saw only 2 cars driving from Israel to Jordan in 3 hours on a monday afternoon! Cars must stop at the border entrance so it was easy to ask directly the driver to give us a ride. It looked like there was a bit more traffic on the other way from Jordan to Israel.
Normally we should have pay 107 shekels (102+5) to leave the country but it appeared to be a bit cheaper as a group : we paid 311 for 3 persons (104 shekels/person).
The Israeli custom officers did not ask any questions and did not open our luggages.
On the Jordan side, we did not nothing for the visa as we already paid and print our Jordanian Pass.
# In central Israel, in the West Bank, "Allenby"/"King Hussein" border crossing, separating [[Jordan]] from the Israsel/West Bank. The border crossing is jointly operated by Israel (for international or Israeli passengers) and the Palestinian Authority (for Palestinian passengers). This is also the most direct border crossing from [[Amman]] to [[Jerusalem]]. Crossing into Israel/West Bank require no special visa. Crossing into Jordan requires obtaining a Jordanian visa in advance, as such are not issued in the border crossing.
# In the south, 3km north of [[Eilat]], you can cross at the Arava crossing (''Yitzchak Rabin terminal'') which separates [[Eilat]] from [[Aqaba]].
