There is also a [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway at Shaar Hagai (שער הגיא‎) [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=gas+station&hl=en&cd=10&ei=6SqMS7XXIYivOJe28LcG&sig2=rVVbYMtdQ5gwWRR4lSrEAA&sll=31.799391,35.108185&sspn=0.250939,0.376282&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=10709258174763436664&ved=0CBIQpQY&hq=gas+station&hnear=&ll=31.88572,35.024414&spn=0.501407,0.752563&z=10&iwloc=A Google map link] This might be useful if a ride is not going all the way to Tel Aviv as there are very few spots to stop on the highway between the two cities.

Follow the same directions as for Amman and the Dead Sea, but continue north on highway 90 from the Beit HaArava Junction until you reach the Tsemach Junciton at the bottom of the Kinneret. From there, you can either hitchhike to [[Tiberias]] by going westwards on Road 90, or use the [[trempiyada]] up to the Golan. People either drive up to Road 92 or Road 98 from there. Road 98 goes right up to the Golan, and Road 92 runs along the west coast of the Kinneret from where you can pick up Roads 789 or 87 to the Golan. Highway 789 connects to Road 98 from where you can chose to either continue north or head south. Road 87 also connects to 98, but a bit later, and it also turns west over the Kinneret or east through the centre of the Golan until it picks up 98 at its end.

Take a city bus (25, 4, or 4a) to the [[Har Ha'tzofim Junction]] and stand there. Rides from here are available to the Ramallah area ([[Ramallah]], [[Ofra]], etc.) As well as further in, towards [[Nablus]], via "Tapuach Junction" ([[Ariel]], [[Salfit]], [[Buddya]] etc.)

However, due to the lack of rides to this area, it is probably best to take a service taxi (very cheap) to this area from Damascus gate in Jerusalem.

Take the #31 bus to Giloh (you'll have to ask people how to get to the ''[[trempiyada]]''. From there you can hitch rides to [[Bethlehem]] and [[Gush Etzion]] areas, ([[Efrat]], [[Bethlehem]], [[Alon Shvut]]), etc, as well as further south, to the [[Hebron]] area of [[Hebron]], [[Kiryat Arba]], [[Tarqumia]], [[Yatta]], etc. To get to the latter area, however, it is better to hitch a ridge to [[Gush Etzion Junction]], and try from there.
