__NOTOC__{{Infobox Israeli Location|country = Israel|district = Southern District|map = <map lat='31.4' lng='35.3' zoom='9' view='3' country='Israel' height='350'/>|pop = |highways = 90}}The '''Dead seaSea''', the most salty body of water lowest point on the face of planet [[Earth]] and one the lowest point most saltiest bodies of water on the planet, is shared between [[Israel]] , [[Jordan]] and the [[West Bank]]. The Israeli and Palestinian side has only one road, Road 90, which continues south towards [[Eilat]] and [Jordan[Egypt]], and north towards [[Jerusalem]], [[Tel Aviv]] and northenr Israel ([[Beit She'an]], [[Tiberias]], Sea of Galille, [[Golan Heights]]etc).
==Hitching inHitchhiking out ===== To [[Jerusalem]] ===Wait at any point on Highway 90 (preferably a bus station) head north to the [[Beit Ha'arava Junction]]. Get off at the [[Beit Ha'arava Junction]], and continue at the ''[[trempiada]]'' at the beginning of Highway 1 going west to [[Jerusalem]]. Having said that, most probably your ride will be already going to Jerusalem (most do) so there won't be any need to change rides at Beit Ha'Arava junction. If you do neet to change ride, from Beit HaArava junction it is best to wait for a ride that is going directly to Jerusalem without any stop, unless your goal is not actually to get to Jerusalem, but a town along the way, such as [[Ma'ale Adummim]], in which case there should be people headed there as well.
===From To [[JerusalemEilat]]and Taba (Egypt) ===Just stand on any point on the road, on the bus station heading south. Continue south till you reach [[Eilat]].
From the city center or === To the [[The Golan Heights|Golan Heights]] ===Wait at any point on Highway 90 (preferably a bus station, take buses 25, 4 or 4A to get ) head north to the "French Hill junction"[[Beit Ha'arava Junction]]. This junction is From the Beit Ha'arava Junction, head north on highway 90 until you reach the spot to hitchike in Tsemach Junction at the direction bottom of the [[JerichoSea of Galilee|Kinneret]] and the Dead sea(unless you found a ride that goes directly to northern Israel, e.g. The place is usually crowded with hitchikers, and drivers stop oftento [[Beit She'an]]). Most likely they will go only halfwaysFrom there, in which case you should ask there is a [[trempiada]] up to go down in the entry junction [[The Golan Heights|Golan]]. People either drive up to Highway 92 or Highway 98 from there. Highway 98 goes right up to their settlmentthe [[The Golan Heights|Golan]], and continue hitchiking Highway 92 runs along the east coast of the Kinneret from where you can pick up Route 789 at the bus station. When reaching the Beit-HaArava junction[[Kursi Junction]], or Highway 87 to the road turn south and [[The Golan Heights|Golan]]. Route 789 connects to Highway 98 from there where you can ask chose to get off in any location at either continue north or head south. Highway 87 also connects to 98, but a bit later, and it also turns west over the Kinneret or east through the shore center of the dead sea[[The Golan Heights|Golan]] until it picks up 98 at its end.
==Hitching Outin ===== From [[Jerusalem]] ===Get to the [[Jerusalem#French_Hill_junction|French hill junction]]. The place is usually crowded with hitchhikers, and drivers stop often. Most likely they will go only half ways, in which case you should ask to go down in the entry junction to their settlement, and continue hitchhiking from the bus station.:[[User:Halt,_Stop!_Reudnitz_kommt.|Craig]] found it easy to get a lift even from inside Jerusalem. A bus stop in front of the Hebrew University looked perfect to set off. Since recently you can get there hitchhiking from in front the Damascus gate (sounds strange, but worked numerous times: 10 mins, 5 mins).
===To When reaching the Beit-HaArava junction, next to the border with [[JerusalemJordan]]===Get to your nearest bus stop/hitchiking spot (On , the main road 90#), turn south and follow from there you can ask to get off in any location at the same instruction as shore of the "Hitching in" paragraphDead Sea.
===To Eilat, See [[JordanJerusalem#East_to_the_Dead_Sea.2C_Northern_Israel|Jerusalem]]article for more details. {{Cities Israel}} == Resources ==Road 90#, the main Dead Sea road, goes all the way south to [[Eilat]]. You can easily hitchike to Eilat from every bus station/Hitchiking spot on the way south, so hop in even if the driver goes only a few kilometers. It can be a bit frustrating (not so many veichles pass) but drivers seem to be nicer in the desert. If you wish to enter [[Jordan]], ask to be dropped off at the border crossing juntion, 10km north of Eilat.{{nomadwiki}}
