I am starting to plan a trip to Israel and some historical places, 
but sometimes these historical places are right at the border, like the [Jordan River](http://www.bible.ca/archeology/bible-archeology-jordan-river-down-from-dan-headwaters-source-mt-herrmon-tel-dan-caesarea-philipi-paneas-temple-of-pan-salt-dead-sea-1340bc.htm) for instance.

If I want to go from Israel to Jordan for a short trip just to have a quick look, and back to Israel, would I need a visa for Jordan too?

[this site in Italian tells me that I can apply for a visa at the border](http://www.ufficiovisti.com/index.php/asia/giordania/819-visto-giordania-turismo).

[this site](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/jordan/entry-requirements) tells me this:

> 
> Visas You’ll need a visa to enter Jordan. You can get a single entry
>  visa valid for 1 month on arrival at the airports or the Sheikh
>  Hussein/North Border crossing at the Jordan/Israel border.
> 
> 
> Entry visas aren’t issued at the Wadi Araba/South Border crossing
>  (Aqaba/Eilat) or the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge (the other crossing
>  on the Jordan/Israel border).
