'''Tel Aviv''' is considered by many the Center capital of [[Israel]], and the capital center of the vast Metropolitan which is built all over central [[Israel]]. It is also where all the foreign embassies are located, since they do not recognise [[Jerusalem]] as the capital of [[Israel]].
Tel Aviv is also a very bad place to start a hitchiking trip. There is almost nowhere you can hitchike from Tel Aviv itself, and your best bet is always to take the bus to the suburbs and try there.
===To [[Haifa]] and the North===
Hitchiking to [[Haifa]] and the North is not that bad at all. From the central bus station, or from the Arlozerov Terminal (Namir street) , you can take a bus number 601 heading to either the Cinema City complex (on the main road, 5 min out of Tel Aviv), or further towards NetanyaYakum (also on the main road, but 20 min out of Tel aviv, after [[Herzalyia]]). Ask In both cases you can start hitchiking from the driver for a ticket till Ha-sira junction bus station you were just dropped in. To the Cinema city complex take bus number 501/601/90 (8.5NIS7 NIS) or till . To Yakum Junction take bus 601 (13.5NIS) and get off in any of these junctions. From there these stops you can hitchike easily north, from the same bus stop you just stepped off in. To [[Haifa]] try to get direct rides, as sometime drivers get off the highway where there is no good hitchiking spot. To [[Afula]] and [[Tiberias]] you will need to get a ride which turns right in Ceaseria Junction to Road 65 - If the driver continues till [[Haifa]] then you will not be able to get off in that junction.
===To [[Beer Sheva]], the Negev, [[Eilat]], [[Egypt]] and [[Aqaba]] ([[Jordan]])===
Heading towards Beer Sheva, there is not really a good reason to go hitchike, as the bus fare from Tel Aviv is just 13.70NIS (3$.5 Euro). But if you really search for the adventure, or you are heading southern, you can give it a try. Take bus 475 from Tel Aviv central bus station, and ask the driver for a ticket till "El-Al junction" (11.7 NIS). The bus will pass the "Airport offices", and the next station is where you should get off. From the bus station you just descended to, it is possible to hitchike south towards Beer Sheva. You go south on Road 40#, don't take a ride which diverts from this road, and you will get to Beer Sheva. (The last few kms are considered road 406, so don't worry about it).
If you are heading southern towards the Negev, [[Eilat]] or [[Egypt]], then it's recommended to take a bus till "Goral Junction", 10 km north of Beer Sheva. Take any bus to [[Beer Sheva]], like line 370 from Arlozerov terminal, and ask the driver to go off in that junction. From there continue your journey on Road 40, and again do not divert from this road. If you don't find there any long-haul rides, ask the drivers to take you do "Hativat Ha-Negev" Junction, from which any ride south will be helpful. Road 40 continues approx. 200 km south, till you reach "Ketura" junction, where you change to road 90 that goes all the way south to Eilat, The Jordanian border and the Taba border crossing. For the Jordanian border go off in Eilot junction and walk the 1km till the border, for the Egyptian border take bus 15 from Eilat (6.5 NIS).
