Anna,
My husband and I traveled to Jordan via Sheikh Hussein โ we chose this route because we wanted to get to Amman without any hassle. We placed an order the night before, the car arrived on time, the driver was polite and helped with the luggage. The trip was calm, without any rush. The border is really much quieter than Allenby. Thank you for the comfort and reliability.

Mikhail,
This is my third time using Emun Taxi, but my first time going through this checkpoint. A great route, especially if you don't want to push your way through Allenby. The car was clean, the driver knew where to stop for coffee. We crossed the border quickly, no questions asked. Everything was to the point, no fuss. I recommend it.

Lior,
I needed to get to a program in Irbid, and this route was ideal. I ordered through the website, everything is convenient. The driver has excellent English, even gave a couple of tips on the transfer. We got there quickly, without transfers and bus adventures. Very pleased.
