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 (intersction of highway 90 and 25, where the road to Tel Aviv (25) splits from 90 that continues to Jerusalem), and get to your destination along the Dead Sea shore. If you wish to get to [[Jerusalem]], you need to continue hitchhike north till you get to the northernmost tip of the Dead Sea, and hitchhike West on Highway 1.
=== To [[Tel Aviv]], [[Be'er Sheva]], [[Mitzpe Ramon]] ===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 Be'er Sheva and Tel Aviv. The second option is Highway 40 has much more desert scenery- especially on the approach to Mitzpe Ramon and around Sde Boker, 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. Remember, this is a desert area! Sometimes you can also get a direct ride from Eilat to Tel Aviv..If hitchhiking to Mitzpe Ramon it would be best to use a sign, as most traffic going north out of Eilat will not be travelling on Highway 40.
=== To [[Taba]], [[Egypt]] ===
