Jisr ed Damiye

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.

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.

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.

The bridge sits more than 380 meters below sea level, making it one of the lowest fixed water crossings in the world. This extreme location makes the site geographically distinctive.
