Good news for travelers! The Jordanian Ministry of Interior has announced an extension of operating hours at the Jaber Border Crossing, which connects with Syria’s Nasib Crossing. According to the March 2025 announcement, opening hours were extended until midnight from Sunday 9 March, instead of the previous closing time of 10 PM. These are historical hours, not a present-day guarantee. This change aims to provide more flexibility for tourists crossing between Jordan and Syria.
The extension applies to all sections of the border, ensuring smoother passage for visitors. Whether you’re exploring the historic cities of Damascus or Amman, this adjustment allows for more convenient travel planning and less rush when crossing the border.
Additionally, Jordan has been working on improving its border infrastructure to enhance the travel experience. Tourists can expect better logistics and streamlined procedures at the Jaber Border Crossing, making cross-border trips more comfortable.
For a present-day trip, verify the crossing’s current schedule and document requirements rather than relying on the timetable announced in March 2025.
