גשר שייח' חוסיין, Border crossing bridge over Jordan River near Maoz Haim, Israel
The Sheikh Hussein Bridge spans across the Jordan River with separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians connecting Israel and Jordan.
The bridge location marks where Muslim forces first entered the Land of Israel in 638 CE during the Islamic conquest.
The bridge functions as a meeting point between Israeli and Jordanian communities, facilitating interactions between different cultural groups.
The border crossing operates from Sunday to Friday between 08:30 and 18:00, with final entry permitted at 16:30.
The current structure, completed in 1998, consists of a double Bailey bridge made of concrete, constructed with support from the Japanese government.
