Bordercrossing Jordan/Israel

This topic was created by Vera

I would like to know if I can cross from Jordan to Israel
at the Allenby bridge without my passport being stamped by
the two countries, and return to Jordan with the same visa
(I will continue to Syria, so there may be no evidence of
my visit to Israel).
Thanks !

    Yes you can, but only at the Allenby bridge/King Hussein
    crossing. Jordan doesn't consider this an international
    border so they won't stamp you out. Just make sure that the
    Israelis don't stamp your passport (don't let go of it until
    you've made it clear). And make sure your Jordanian visa
    doesn't expire while you're in Israel, or else you'll have
    to buy a new visa and it will show in your passport.

    Just a bit of caution to Jorg's usually reliable posts.
    Stamping passports depends who's on duty. I know that there
    were several people in Amman trying to get new passports
    because of some official at the border who stamped
    regardless. be very, very cautious. bob

    More caution. Yes it depends who is on duty whether they
    stamp or not, although they usually consider your request.
    A difficulty may arise with your Jordanian visa which will
    clearly indicate the Allenby entry point....and the only
    way you get that is coming from Israel.
    To avoid that danger last year - (when we were heading into
    non-Israeli friendly countries) - we flew from Israel to
    Jordan. So our visas indicated international air arrival.
    Most people we met last summer visited Jordan and Israel
    AFTER Syria.
