Changes

This border crossing is significantly more difficult and tedious than the other two crossings, as it is the only this crossing directly serves Palestinians who go to/from Jordan into the Palestinian Autonomyareas. It is common for travelers to be subjected to several-hour waits, intense interrogation (including searches of journals, phones, and computers), and denial of entry. From Amman, a taxi may be taken to the crossing for 10 dinar. It also may be possible to hitchhike to the border, but the taxi is a much more certain option. To get from the Jordanian border control point to the Israeli one, travelers are required to pay 10 dinar for a spot on a bus, with luggage costing an additional fee. If you are lucky enough to be allowed entry into Israel/Palestinian Autonomy, you will need to pay to board another bus from the border to either Jerusalem (and from there to the rest of Israel) or to Jericho (a Palestinian city).
