Jordan permits most Western countries to receive a travel visa at the border crossing. However, residents of some countries need to apply for a visa in advance. Check with your local embassy, or online.

For re-entry into Israel, please ensure you are eligible for a Visa on Arrival or have already arranged a multiple entry visa for Israel in advance.

If you had to apply for a visa to enter Israel, please check the conditions of your visa regarding re-entry.

Students, Foreign Workers and Volunteers:

If you are on a student/volunteer/work visa in Israel it is important to ensure you have or are eligible for reentry as some visas are not multiple-entry.

Please be aware; Israel gives 3 month visas to many nationalities. Often they will give you a new 3 month visa on each entrance, however they will sometimes refuse this if you have overstayed a visa, or have already been in Israel for more than 6 months in the past year on a tourist visa. If you require clarification, please check with the Israel embassy in your country, or the Ministry of Interior in Israel.

The tour returns to Israel via the Allenby Bridge Border Crossing.

There will be a short stretch of time in which you will be without the guide (who will remain on the Jordanian side), while our drivers will be waiting for you on the Israeli side.

For this, it is important to note the following:

* Be patient – during busy periods the crossing might be crowded and slow.

This is how it goes, step by step:

Try to stick together as a group to make the process easier, unless someone is delayed for questioning. This is not uncommon, and is not a reason for concern. The group should continue through the border, as the delayed passenger can take a shared taxi back to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv once they’ve crossed the border.

* Please note that our representatives are not allowed into the terminal and cannot assist you inside.

1. Check in your luggage: Once you finish the procedure on the Jordanian side, the bus will transfer you to the Israeli terminal, where you will be dropped off with your luggage. The first queue is to drop off your luggage for security screening and get a sticker on your passport with the number of pieces of luggage. You’ll still need to get the sticker, even if you only have hand luggage.
2. First security check: The second queue is to get your passport scanned and put a security sticker on it. Please introduce yourself as a group.
3. Hand luggage and personal security check: You will then enter the terminal and put your hand luggage through a baggage scanner, and go through a metal detector. Please remove all metal objects before passing through the detector (coins, belts, phones, etc.).
4. Passport control: At this point you might be asked questions about what you have done in Jordan, what your plans are in Israel, etc. Occasionally the immigration asks a person to wait for further questioning. This process may take a while. If you have been delayed, and the Abraham Tours bus has already left with the rest of the group, you can return to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv using the shared taxis (explained further under “What if I experience issues while crossing the border?”).
5. Luggage and Passport stamp check: Your luggage and passport will be checked to make sure you have gone through all necessary security procedures.
6. Pick up your luggage, pass through customs and you are done! Outside the terminal our driver and bus will be waiting to transfer you back to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

Our Jordanian and Israeli operators will stay in touch with you via the WhatsApp group to provide ongoing assistance.
