how to cross from Israel to Jordan

you really need to take a taxi from Eilat , on the meter (ask the driver if that will include your luggage or not). The fare is approx 25 to 30 NIS ($8) per taxi from Eilat bus station to the Yitzhak Rabin border, leading into Aqaba.

Plan B: If you get off your bus at the The Yitzhak Rabin Terminal border bus stop, it is just before Kibbutz Eilot (before the bus finally arrives into Eilat). You can get off at a junction* from where you could walk from that main road to the border.

If you have planned to do this make sure

(a) you have told the bus driver well beforehand, and

(b) that you have your luggage easily accessible, to extract from the hold of the bus. It’s a long 2-3 km walk from the main road, to the Yitzhak Rabin border.

How to cross from Eilat air port to Jordan

The border crossing is located a 5-minute, ILS30 ($8) taxi ride from Eilat’s airport. At “Yitzhak Rabin Terminal”one-page general information sheet in English that explained passport and visa requirements, along with a list of fees and Customs rules (e.g., “It is strictly forbidden to import to Jordan drinking water, food,…”). At the first stop you pay exit fee of ILS 100 along with a commission of ILS3 (total, about $27 each), cash only. Receipts will be provided at the next stop, where passports stamped. Then you walk about 100 meters across a no-man’s-land to Jordan border . There is luggage inspection where our team will meet you.
