Wadi Araba Crossing, Border checkpoint and bridge in Eilat, Israel and Aqaba, Jordan.
The Wadi Araba Crossing spans the Israel-Jordan border with dual facilities processing travelers and vehicles crossing between Eilat and Aqaba cities.
The border crossing opened on August 8, 1994, following the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan, marking a new era of diplomatic relations.
The Israeli terminal was renamed to Yitzhak Rabin Terminal in 2006, commemorating the prime minister who contributed to the Israel-Jordan peace process.

The facility processes over 465,000 people annually and allows private Israeli vehicles to cross after completing registration and payment procedures.
