About

Jisr el-Majami or Jisr al-Mujamieh (Jisr al-Majami, lit. 'Meeting Bridge or "The bridge of the place of assembling"', Gesher, lit. "Bridge") is an ancient stone bridge, possibly of Roman origin, over the Jordan River on the border between Israel and Jordan. The name is derived from the bridge's location 200 m (660 ft) south of the confluence of the Yarmouk and Jordan rivers.
