Changes

Eilat has the distinct advantage of having basiclly only one road out, The ''Arava Road'', Number 90. It streches stretches to the north of the city, and continues all the way up to the [[Dead Sea]], and intersects with the roads to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

From the main Bus station, walk down the street till you see the entry to the airport. Turn left, pass the small petrol station on your right, continue past another petrol station on your left, and reach the roundabout just after the end of the airport. You hitch from the bus stop. There is no real need of having a sign with you, since there is only one major direction (North!). You should get rides that continue on Road 90, continuing north after the Arava junction (where the road to Tel Aviv splits), and get to your destination along the Dead Sea shore. If you wish to get to [[Jerusalem]], you need to continue hitchike hitchhike north till you get to the northmost northernmost tip of the Dead Sea, and hitchike hitchhike West on Road 1.

Hitchike Hitchhike from the same spot as described above. The road to Tel Aviv passes either through Road 90 till the Arava Junction and than west through Dimona, or up north in Road 90, and than turning left in Ketura Junction and continuing up road 40 till Beer Sheva and Tel Aviv. The second option is has much more desert scenryscenery, but there is also much less traffic. Try and avoiding getting stuck in the middle of the road, and prefer always petrol stations, rest areas or Kibbutz exits. Sometimes you can also get a direct ride from Eilat to Tel Aviv...

The Egytian border is only 7.5km away, and it's not really feasible to hitchike hitchhike there since most drivers will just get you to one of the hotels in the area. Every hour bus line 15 goes from Eilat main Bus staionstation, and will take you till the border for 6.4 NIS.
