How do I get to Israel/Palestine and where do I go?

All participants are expected to find their own transportation to a group meeting place in Jerusalem. Most participants fly into the Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv and take a shared taxi to Jerusalem. However, if you plan to do additional traveling in the region you may want to be aware of other points of entry. Please be aware that if you plan to visit countries with bad diplomatic relations with Israel we strongly advise you to fly into Amman and request that the Israeli visa stamp be placed on a separate piece of paper.

Egypt
   + Rafah Crossing into Gaza is often closed and we do not advise using it
   + The Tabah crossing in the Sinai is the most common border crossing
   + Most people don’t know there is a ferry from Nuweiba in the Sinai to Aqaba in Jordan.

Jordan
   + If you are going from Amman, Jordan to Israel and Palestine you will most likely use the Allenby Bridge crossing. This is known as Jisr al-Malek al-Hussein (King Hussein) bridge in Arabic. Do not get this crossing confused with the Sheikh Hussein crossing farther North.
   + You can also cross between Eilat in Israel to the neighboring city of Aqaba in Jordan.
