How much does it cost to cross the border from Israel to Jordan?

Borders between Israel and Jordan In Israel, there are three border crossings which cost around 100 ILS (30 USD) to exit from Israel or 8 JD (12 USD) to exit from Jordan. Perhaps the most convenient border crossing to get from Israel to Jordan is the Yitzhak Rabin Terminal/Wadi Araba Crossing.



Crossing from Israel into Jordan involves several different fees that vary depending on the specific border crossing used (Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, Jordan River/Sheikh Hussein, or Yitzhak Rabin/Wadi Araba). As of 2026, the primary costs include an Israeli exit tax, which is approximately 112 to 122 NIS (roughly $30–$35 USD) per person. On the Jordanian side, most travelers must pay for a tourist visa, which costs 40 JOD (approximately $56 USD). However, travelers who purchase the Jordan Pass (around $100 USD) in advance and stay for at least three nights have the visa fee waived. Additionally, some crossings require a mandatory shuttle bus between the terminals, which costs about 5 to 7 JOD ($7–$10 USD), and private taxis or VIP services can add $20 to $150 depending on the level of comfort. It is important to note that at the Allenby Bridge (Central Crossing), visas are generally not issued on arrival, so they must be arranged in advance unless you are part of a pre-organized tour or holding specific permits.
