King Hussein Bridge crossing into Jordan
Hi,does anyone know if you can pay the exit fee on visa to get back into Jordan via King Hussein Bridge. Also how much is the fee? Finally on a Saturday what is the best way to get to the bridge from Jerusalem??
Thanks

In case you are wondering, transport from Jerusalem to the bridge is Palestinian (Arab) and not affected by the Jewish Sabbath. Saturday is like any other day as far as that's concerned.3
Minibuses driving the East Jerusalem-Allenby bridge route depart from a courtyard adjacent to the Golden Wall hotel, opposite the Old City's Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem. Since it's on the Palestinian side on the city, it runs on Saturdays as usual. When crossing into Jordan through Allenby/King Hussein bridge, you need to pay a fee of about 175 shekel to Israeli authorities.4
I plan to take a taxi from Amman to the King Hussein Bridge/gate and go into Israel for a few days (after a tour in Jordan). I will already have a Jordan visa (received at airport). Can I get back into Jordan via the King Hussein bridge/gate with the same visa? How long is the shared taxi service from Amman to King Hussein Bridge and how much does it cost? Do they run only when full?Thanks.
