Taxi to Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing (Jordan River)

The Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing, also known as the Jordan River Crossing, is one of the international land crossings between Israel and Jordan. It is located in northern Israel, near the city of Beit She'an, and connects northern Israel with northern Jordan—mainly the city of Irbid and the roads leading to Amman.

Sheikh Hussein Crossing and Its Location

The crossing is approximately 10 kilometers from Beit She'an and connects directly to Jordanian Route 65. It is a convenient option for travelers heading to northern regions of Jordan such as Jerash, Ajloun, Irbid, and the capital, Amman. The crossing is open for tourism, business visits, and religious travel.

Infrastructure and Services On-Site

On the Israeli side, there is a modern terminal with air-conditioned waiting halls, restrooms, and payment counters. Parking is available for a fee, and there is a dedicated drop-off/pick-up zone. Border control processing time can range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the season. On the Jordanian side, basic services are available: currency exchange, SIM cards, and taxis. There is no duty-free zone, so we recommend shopping in advance.
