If you want to travel between Israel/Palestine and Jordan and you don't want to fly between the two international airports Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv and the one in Amman, you can go by bus and taxi. Then you have the choice between three different border crossings: - The one in the north, which is called Sheikh Hussein (in Jordan) / Jordan River crossing (in Israel), - the one in the middle, which is the famous King Hussein / Allenby Bridge crossing or - the one in the south which is called Arabah / Arava border crossing. The Allenby crossing seems to be the most convenient on the first look because it is more or less on the direct line Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Amman. But watch out: It is therefore the most crowded crossing and if you are not going there pretty early you will take the risk of not beeing able to cross before they close the crossing (yes, they have opening hours). And for...
The easiest way to get around int he West Bank are the arab shared "Service Taxis" or "Transit Taxis" - small busses or funny streched Mercedes limos. The Service are white with the desitination and bus number in green written on the side (only in arabic). They have yellow (israeli) licence plates and therefore are by israeli military law not allowed to cross checkpoints into palestinian controlled cities (e.g. Ramallah, Betlehem). The Transit are yellow with green (palestinian) license plates. You will find them all over the West Bank as well as inside the areas under palestinian control. Both of them bring you almost everywhere in the Westbank for a cheap price. To stop a bus on the street just signal him to stop. If the bus is already full, don't be disturbed if they ignore you and just drive by. To find a bus at the station just ask or listen to the loud voices of the special...
I got there by bus, both on a tourist tour bus & also a local bus. The latter is recommended a great way to meet some of the people & make friends. Also Shared taxi which is quite a cheap & slightly quicker than local bus.
to judea and samaria,arab buses or collective taxis go to everywhere for a very cheap price;to gaza,it is different,because the area is closed;the cheapest is to reach tsomet mordekhai,south of ashqelon, with an egged bus;then,you walk 5 kms to erez;tell the soldiers at the border that you are a tourist and that you are against a palestinian state;when you arrive to the palestinian side,say that you are not jewish and that you are for a palestinian state;taxis are waiting for you to any place in the gaza strip, but it will cost you a fortune ;you HAVE to get out of the gaza strip at the same checkpointto jericho:take a bus in arab station near damascus gate ,to abu-dis;from abu-dis,collective taxi to jericho
You can get there travelling around Israel - by bus or in a car.
The tourist facilities provide accommodations for changing into swimming attire so the visitor can wade into the warm, soothing water.
