Israel Restricts Car Travel to Jordan Ahead of Yom Kippur
Israel's Airports Authority, which manages border crossings with Jordan and Egypt, announced that travel from Israel to Jordan via the Allenby Bridge and Yitzhak Rabin crossings will be prohibited for private vehicles from September 15th to September 20th. This restriction is due to anticipated heavy traffic at the crossings in the lead-up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Passengers without vehicles can still cross at the Allenby Bridge, with a transfer service available to the Jordanian side for 8 shekels per person. Both crossings will be completely closed on Yom Kippur itself, including for those traveling without cars, so travelers are advised to verify schedules in advance.
