=== Hitching Out =Hitchhiking out ==[[File:CraigCamelHitch.jpg|thumb|220px|right|[[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] was unsuccessful trying to hitch a camel, but this is the region where the crazy have the best chance! Many camels!]]A good place to start hitching east is the near (under) Negev Brigade interchange, which can be reached by walking three kilometers or so northeast on Derech Hevron out of the city center.

A good place === North to start hitching [[Tel Aviv]] [[Jerusalem]] ===From the main bus station take the bus number 8 until the last stop. Then, when you get down the bus, walk a hundred meters in all directions is the Negev Brigade junctionopposite direction, until you reach the main avenue. There, which turn left and walk another 100 meters. You can be reached by walking three kilometers hitchhike there, direction north, after the light. There isn't any bus stop, but a lot of cars stop. With a sign with "Jerusalem" or so northeast on Derech Hevron out of the city center"Tel Aviv" maybe it works better, but anyway its super easy.

=== North to [[Tel Aviv]], East to [[Arad (Israel)|Arad]], [[Dead Sea (Israel)|Dead Sea]] ===

From Negev Brigade junctioninterchange, hitchhike east to the next major junction("Shoket"), where the road splits north 60 meets road 31 west towards Tel Aviv or east (road 31) to east towards Arad and the hotel hotels area of the Dead Sea. Cars going directly onto highway 6 north won't help you to get to "Shoket" junction, there's no place to let you off and to walk to "Shoket" junction, unless they are willing to do an extra mile to "Shoket" junction, then they can take a left onto highway 31 west on back onto highway 6.

== South On "Shoket" junction hitch directly to [[Dimona]], [[Eilat]], Aqaba the Dead Sea or to Arad (no point in taking a hitchhike to a beduoin camp along the way (there are plenty) - since most drivers won't stop near bedouin camps for onward journeys) ([[Jordan]https://goo.gl/maps/KM3jBjRr6pw Google map for Shoket junction road 31 south hitch point]), [[Egypt]] ==.

Once === South to [[Dimona]], [[Eilat]], Aqaba ([[Jordan]]), Taba ([[Egypt]]) ===You can try to hitchhike southwards from the junction of Derekh Eilat (Eilat road inside Be'er Sheva) and Tozeret Ha'Aretz, this is the southern part of civilization before it's all desert. This should get you to Eilat via Mitzpeh Ramon on highway 40. To hitchhike to these Negev cities directly Eilat via Dimona (eastwards to highway 25 and then southwards to highway 90) - you can try hitchhiking from Negev Brigade Yigal Alon blvd, just east of their junctionwith Derekh Eilat (Eilat road) ([https://goo.gl/maps/nevpGCi5sWG2 Google street view]). Another option is to get further under Sarah interchange ([https://goo. gl/maps/o7v6mr5geDT2 Google street view]).The road passes through Dimona, meets up with road 90, gets southbound traffic from the Dead Sea (and from Jerusalem) at [[Ha'Arava Junction]], and ends in [[Eilat]]. Next to [[Eilat ]] (a great destination by itself) are Jordanian and Egyptian border crossings.{{IsIn|Israel}} {{Cities Israel}}[[Category:Israel]]
