Wadi Araba Crossing

The Wadi Araba Crossing (Jordanian name, Arabic: تقاطع وادي عربة) or Yitzhak Rabin Crossing (Israeli name, Hebrew: מעבר יצחק רבין) is an international border crossing between Aqaba, Jordan and Eilat, Israel. Opened on August 8, 1994, it is currently one of three entry/exit points between the two cou

ntries that handle tourists. In February 2006, the Israelis renamed their border terminal to Yitzhak Rabin Terminal (Hebrew: מסוף יצחק רבין), after the assassinated Prime Minister who had signed the Israel–Jordan peace treaty in 1994. The terminal is open from 6:30 to 20:00, Sunday through Thursday, and from 8:00 to 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, every day of the year except for the holidays of the Islamic New Year and Yom Kippur. In 2010, 465,059 people and 8,007 vehicles have crossed the border.
