Aqaba airport to Wadi Araba Crossing to Jerusalem?

Country forums / Middle East / Jordan

Hi All,

Sorry if I´m repeating any previous topic but I couldn´t find this information. Thanks in advance for any help. I am landing at Aqaba airport at 3am in the end of May and plan to go to the border with Israel to catch a bus to Jerusalem.

  • Do you know whether there is public transport from Aqaba Aipt to Wadi Araba Crossing?
  • On average, how much would cost a cab ride to the border?
  • Do I need to go to Eilat to get the bus to Jerusalem?

Many thanks,

H

Please note the times the border crossing is open:
Sun - Thurs: 6:30 am - 8:00 pm
Fri - Sat: 8:00 am - 8:00 pm

Here is the official site of the border crossing (called the Yitzhak Rabin crossing in Israel):
