GETTING AROUND
The easiest way of getting from Jerusalem to Jericho,
Bethlehem and Hebron is a shared taxi from Damascus
Gate
(see p310)
. From Bethlehem you can take a taxi
on to the Herodion or Mar Saba. For longer trips, the
Israeli bus company Egged serves all Dead Sea and
Negev locations
(see pp312-13)
. For those who only
want to visit the Negev Desert, there are direct flights
to Eilat with Arkia
(see pp308-9)
.
