This is the lounge in Dubai nothing fancy but it's huge, and they offer a free shoe shiner, and I got a good message by an Indian guy, who asked me in middle if I was Muslim or Christian, so then I knew I was safe to continue to Amman.

Now in Amman you need a Visa so you can get a Visa by paying 40 Jordanian Dollars and it goes together with the passport control, once we got our luggage we took a Taxi to the Israeli Border.  And here are some of the views from Jordan.

This cost about $140 it was very helpful from reaching the border till passing the Israeli Border you get much better service, you have a car transferring you over the border instead of a bus full of people. I highly recommend this service.

From Israeli border till Jerusalem is also about an hour.

Plus, it gets you through the long queues and security checks, which can save you literally a couple of hours

+1 I actually paid for it with my amex platinum ready to dispute the charge if it would be some small thing, but it was worth every penny.
