The border crossing at Nitzana is the main overland border crossing between Israel and Egypt, and cargo and goods for import and export pass through it.

The terminal is located at Pitchat Nitzana, next to Nitzana Youth Village and Moshav Nitzanei Sinai (Kadesh Barnea), within the territory of Ramat Negev Regional Council.

The terminal’s location at the junction between two countries, and the commercial activity taking place there, are important factors in strengthening ties between Israel and Egypt and consolidating the peace.

From the south east:  From the direction of Eilat and Mount Harif, via the Philadelphi axis.  The road is narrow and travel on it must be arranged in advance.
