Transportation from Airport

Following are directions as to how to get from Ben-Gurion Airport to Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, Jerusalem: Exit the arrivals hall by the right door. Just outside of the arrivals terminal, in front of you, or to the left, you will see a group of taxi drivers. Ask one of the drivers you see which one of them is going to Jerusalem. Each city is served by a different company; the company that goes to Jerusalem is called NESHER. Tell the driver that you want to go to the Kibbutz Ramat Rachel Hotel. Important: The taxi carries 7 passengers, and drops each of them at his/her destination. The taxi leaves the airport when it fills up. The cost of this service (called ``sherut'') (one-way) is approx. $10 U.S.

There also is a possibility to take an ordinary taxi on your own, which costs about $40 U.S. (useful if there are several people traveling together) In both cases make sure at the beginning of the trip what the price is.

The Organizing company also arranges for a special pick-up service. See the hotel forms.

Have a safe trip.
