Amman Travel Forum

Hello!,

Does anyone know of any buses that go from tel aviv to amman?. I was interested on taking a day trip there while I am in Israel, I was told Jordan and Israel are on good terms so it should be okay. If there any border crossing issues as well please bring that up

I appreciate any response

Thanks!

This is a longish trip not recommended as a day trip. The distance in km is short, but the border crossings time consuming. Also the borders close in the evenings so you can't cross late at night.
Here are the details: http://www.jordanjubilee.com/travelme/toisrael.htm

Coming from Tel Aviv, bus #333 departs from the fourth floor of the Central Bus Station three times a week. The bus takes the Jordan River Crossing route, will drop off in Irbid at the office of the Trust International Transport Company near Sports City, and terminate at the Trust office in Amman next to the Royal Jordanian building off 7th Circle.

You also have the The Nazarene Bus company phone 04-6010458 who run buses on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. They leave from the Tel Aviv North Train Station at 0700, travel via Nazareth and leave from there at 0830, and arrives in Amman at 13:30 on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. They use the Sheikh Hussein bridge. You have to make a reservation ahead of time. A bus leaves Amman for Nazareth and Haifa at 14:00 on those same days.

If you need to obtain a visa for Jordan at the border, then the Sheikh Hussein/Jordan River Crossing is the one that you must use, since no visas are available at the King Hussein Bridge. No public transport goes anywhere near this crossing on either side of the frontier, you are pretty well dependent on the long distance buses.

Or get a Jordanian visa at the Consulate in Ramat Gan (near Tel Aviv).

There is an exit tax on both sides of the border - they get you coming and going, in addition to the visa charge.

BTW - you can also fly from Tel Aviv to Amman with either El Al or Royal Jordanian.

thankyou for your help!

Have a good trip.
