==Get inSafety ==Visas In general the Jordanians are obtainable at land bordersvery friendly, helpful and respectful to foreigners. People Just make sure it is clear where you want to go and what they can expect from Arab countries donyou. But I had never bad experiences. Most of the time they even offer you money or invite you to their family for dinner.There are many checkpoints where sometimes your ID will be checked. If you only hold an Israeli passport it't need s probably not a visagood idea to [[hitchhiking at night|hitchhike at night]].
== Get in ==Visas are obtainable at land borders. Usually you get a visa for one months. You will have to say, what are you planning to do and what is the first place where you are staying. If you want to stay longer you can extend it in any police station. For more information contact your embassy or research in the internet.People from Arab countries don't need a visa. ==Cities==

==Locations==* [[Dead Sea(Jordan)]] == Border crossings ==There are 2 border crossings to [[Israel]] and one to occupied [[Palestine]]. There are also land crossings to [[Syria]], [[Saudi Arabia]] and [[Iraq]]. However, as of January 2015, the Syria and Iraq borders are closed indefinitely. '''Aqaba Border Crossing to and from Israel'''To get to the Border Crossing in Aqaba it is quite hard. Either you have a map and try to find it walking. It is at least 5 km from the mainroad. Best way is to take a taxi from downtown. Don't pay more than 3-5 dinar. On the Israeli side it is just 2 km to the mainroad between Eilat (another 5 km) and Jerusalem (300 km) and the Dead Sea (250 km) '''Jordan River Border Crossing to and from Israel'''You won't be allowed to cross this border crossing on foot. Maybe you are lucky and you can discuss with the soldiers but I wouldn't be sure. Usually there are busses just for crossing the river which marks the border between Jordan and Israel. On both sides it is just 2.5 km to the mainroad (Jordanien side) or the next village (Israeli side) from where you will be able to get a ride.
