Jisr ed Damiye

The Damia Bridge spans the Jordan River between Palestinian territories and Jordan's Balqa Governorate, connecting both nations through a strategic crossing point.

In 1918, British forces captured this crossing during World War I, incorporating it into the essential Nablus-Es Salt-Amman transportation network.

The bridge site corresponds to the biblical town of Adam, referenced in ancient texts and identified by scholars with the archaeological site of Tall Damiyah.

Access to the bridge requires permits from Israeli and Jordanian authorities, while the Israeli side remains designated as a restricted military zone.

This crossing point sits at 381 meters below sea level, making it the lowest fixed water crossing structure on Earth.
