Taxi to Allenby Bridge Border Crossing (King Hussein Bridge / Gesher Hussein)

The Allenby Bridge Border Crossing, also known as King Hussein Bridge or Gesher Hussein, is one of the main international land crossings between Israel and Jordan. It is located in the Judean Desert, near Jericho and the Dead Sea. This crossing is mostly used by Palestinian travelers as well as international tourists entering or exiting Jordan.

Allenby Bridge and Its Location

The crossing connects Israel’s Highway 90 with the Jordanian side of the King Hussein Bridge, which leads toward Amman. It is a convenient choice for travelers departing from Jerusalem, the Dead Sea area, Bethlehem, and nearby regions. It is the southernmost and busiest crossing point for non-Israeli citizens, including foreign travelers and diplomats.

Infrastructure and On-Site Services

On the Israeli side, there is a terminal with air-conditioned waiting areas, restrooms, registration counters, and payment stations. You will find currency exchange services, shops, and departure fee payment points. On the Jordanian side, passengers must transfer to local transportation (buses or taxis). Unlike other crossings, pedestrian passage is not permitted at Allenby — crossing is only allowed via official shuttle buses.
