The Allenby Bridge (Hebrew: גשר אלנבי, romanized: Gesher Allenby), known officially in Jordan as the King Hussein Bridge (Arabic: جسر الملك حسين, romanized: Jisr al-Malek Hussein), and also called the Al-Karameh Bridge (جسر الكرامة) or simply Al-Jisr (الجسر, lit.'the bridge') by Palestinian Arabs,[1] is a bridge that crosses the Jordan River near the city of Jericho in the West Bank and the town of Al-Karameh in Jordan.[citation needed]

The bridge is currently the only official border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, and is the sole designated exit/entry point for West Bank Palestinians travelling abroad by land.

Being 381 metres (1,250 ft) below sea level, it is the lowest fixed water crossing in the world.[citation needed]
