Crossing a border between Israel and Jordan may seem confusing, but the process is simple.

We recommend crossing at the Arava Border in the South or the Sheikh Hussein Border in the North.
Allenby Border is another border to consider.

This process is hassle-free and included in all of our tour packages to Jordan. Whew! What a pleasure!!
Contact us here for more information.

Jordan Border Departure tax and VAT refund

When you reach the border, you must pay the Israel departure tax, approximately (USD)$32 per person (depending on the current exchange rate). If you are traveling with Noah Tours, this will be taken care of in advance—one less thing to worry about!
If you do not hold an Israeli passport, this is also your chance to get VAT (Value Added Tax) back on some items you may have purchased during your visit.
The Israeli representative will ask to see the purchased items and the receipt, so it’s best to save them as much as possible.

If you cross the border from Jordan to Israel, a departure tax of  10 JOD (Jordanian Dinar) per person will be required (approximately (USD) $15 per person, dependent on the current exchange rate).

Jordan Passport and Border Crossing

Finally, after passing through the departure tax unit, Israeli passport control, and the VAT refund representative, it’s time to move on to your next destination!

If you cross at the Arava Border, you will walk straight into Jordan with your luggage for approximately 300 meters.
If you are crossing at the Sheikh Hussein Border, you will need to take a shuttle from the Israeli side to the Jordanian side.

When you’re on a tour with Noah Tours, our Israeli guide will meet our Jordanian representative at the border to ensure a smooth crossing.
Noah Tours’ Jordanian representative will take you through passport control with the visa and go through security.
Our Jordanian representative will assist throughout the process, and you will be in our vehicle throughout the time.
