Border Crossing Information
BORDER CROSSING FORMALITIES EILAT TO AQABA
 
If you are arriving into Ovda Airport, you will be met by a representative
of Longwood Holidays. After everybody has cleared through the airport,
a shared transfer will take you to the Arava border crossing. At the
border, you will have to pass both Israeli and Jordanian passport control.
At the Israeli passport control, you will be required to pay NIS71.00
(approximately £10) per person Israeli Departure Tax. Camcorders
must be declared at Jordanian Customs.

On entering Jordan, a representative from Jordan Circle Tours* will be
awaiting your arrival to transfer you to your chosen hotel. On leaving
Jordan, departure tax of JD5 (approximately £5) per person will be
levied. No charge is made to re-enter Israel. There will be a Longwood
representative at the border to transfer you to Ovda Airport.

*Clients staying at the Alcazar Hotel in Aqaba, will be met by a
representative of the hotel itself, not by Jordan Circle Tours.
All information regarding entry/departure tax and visa charges is
