Location

The Netafim Border Crossing (Hebrew: מעבר נטפים) was a border crossing between Israel and Egypt. It was located adjacent to Highway 12, about 12 km north of Eilat, 1 km north west of Ein Netafim. As of 2023, the only two working crossing points between Israel and Egypt are the Taba-Eilat Border Crossing and the Nitzana Border Crossing.^[1]

The border line is guarded accurately on both sides, on the Israeli side alongside Highway 12 (one of the two accommodation roads to Eilat) by the Israel Border Police and on the Egyptian side from some army positions.

The border crossing is in the Israel National Trail's proximity but not actually on the route. Nevertheless, many wanderers who have lost their way arrive at the border crossing to drink some water.^{[citation needed]}
