Are taxis available on the Israel side of the northern crossing to Jordan?
After touring in Jordan, my guide will let me off on the Jordan side of the Beit She’an / Sheik Hussein – Northern border crossing (between Tiberias and Jerash). Is there a taxi stand on the Israel side of the border that has taxis waiting for hire during daylight hours? If not, how can I get a taxi there to take me to Tiberias?
Best Answer
The official page for the Nehar Yarden (Jordan River) crossing, as the Israelis call it, says that your best option is taxi, and like any other Middle East border crossing, I'd expect a few to be hanging around. You/somebody can probably call you a cab in a pinch though.
Bus 16 also runs between Beit Shean and the border (stop #8), but there are only a few services per day, and (as usual in Israel) none on Shabbat.
