Dear travelers,
I guess this question must have been answered (or experienced) by someone before. The Allenby/King Hussein crossing is closed on Eid al-Adha, and current Jordanian holiday calendar shows 2012 Eid falls on October 25. I have an early morning flight from Amman to catch on 25th, and plan to cross the border from Jerusalem on Oct. 24 which is Wednesday. Is there anything I need to be concerned about? I heard instances of the Israelis closing the border without notice during (of before?) Ramadan this year due to "heavy traffic". How likely are they to repeat such pattern on the eve of Eid al-Adha?
Should I prepare for the worst and head straight for the northern crossing? It is however a long detour, plus the Israel stamp on passport that I wish to avoid.
