Jisr ed Damiye, Border bridge at Jordan River crossing, Jordan-Palestine
Description
Jisr ed Damiye is a bridge crossing the Jordan River between Palestinian territories and Jordan. It spans the waterway in a strategically important location connecting the two regions.
History
The bridge was built in its current form in the early 20th century and served as an important link during the Mandate period. Since then it has retained its role as a cross-border crossing point.
Culture
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, making a visit logistically complex. Visitors should check current regulations and required documentation in advance.
