Hitching out

To the Dead Sea

From the city center or the bus station, take buses 25, 4 or 4A to get to the "French Hill junction". This junction is the spot to hitchhike in the direction of Jericho and the Dead sea. 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. When reaching the Beit-HaArava junction, the road turn south and from there you can ask to get off in any location at the shore of the dead sea.

To Tel Aviv

Take a bus to the main bus station in west Jerusalem. Go on walking further on Jaffa road, till you get to the main junction where you can see the "Begin" highway. go on walking straight and pass this junction, and on your right (after the petrol station) you will see a bus station, the best spot to hitchike. Most likely you will see other hitchikers standing there too. If you get bored or want to burn some time, just behind you there is an ancient Palestinian village (Lifta), which was deserted in 1948. go down the stairs and find your way to the local spring.
