Taxi Border Crossing Aqaba (Wadi Arava)

The Wadi Arava border crossing is an international land crossing between Israel and Jordan, located north of Eilat, near Kibbutz Eilot. On the Jordanian side, it leads directly into the city of Aqaba and further to the Red Sea resorts and various tourist destinations in southern Jordan.

Wadi Arava Crossing and Its Location

The crossing is situated in southern Israel, about 5 km from central Eilat. On the Israeli side, it connects to Road No. 109, and on the Jordanian side, it links to highways leading to Aqaba, Petra, Wadi Rum, and Amman. It's an ideal choice for those planning to explore southern Jordan.

Infrastructure and Services On-Site

On the Israeli side, there is a small but modern terminal with air conditioning, restrooms, and a shaded waiting area. Paid parking is available, as well as a designated drop-off and pick-up zone. Border control is usually efficient, though delays can occur during peak seasons. On the Jordanian side, you’ll find basic tourist services: currency exchange, SIM card booths, and car rental. There is no duty-free zone between the gates.
