Jisr Majami

The stone bridge extends 70 meters in length and 18 meters in width, featuring one main arch and six smaller arches above it.

The bridge underwent several construction phases from Roman times through medieval periods, with repairs by Usama al-Halabi during Saladin's rule in the 12th century.

The bridge served as a meeting point for different communities, connecting trade routes and facilitating exchanges between various populations during the British Mandate period.

In 2014, Italian, Jordanian, and Israeli authorities collaborated on renovations to maintain the bridge's structural integrity and historical features.

A khan established near the bridge in 1365 served as a caravanserai, built with distinctive basalt stones for travelers crossing the Jordan River.
