The Yitzhak Rabin Terminal, formerly known as the Arava Terminal, serves as a border crossing between Israel and Jordan for Israelis and foreign tourists, with the exception of residents of the Territories.
The Terminal serves also as a Freight Terminal through which goods are conveyed between Israel and Jordan.
The majority of outbound passengers pass through the Terminal in groups going on one-day trips to Petra, some randomly from hotels in Eilat and some as organized groups from abroad.
Currently, there is a trend of off-road vehicles passing through the terminal, on their way to tour in Jordan.
Hours of operation of the Terminal:
Sunday to Thursday - 06:30 - 20:00
Friday and Saturday - 08:00 - 20:00
On Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) and on the Muslim New Year – the Terminal is closed.
