Private Transfer from Jerusalem ↔ Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is only 40 km from Jerusalem, and the road there descends more than a kilometre in under an hour: past the Inn of the Good Samaritan, through the Judean desert, down to the shore at Ein Bokek. This private transfer makes that descent simple, with hotel pickup in Jerusalem and a car for your group. The bus exists, but it runs a few times a day, which dictates when you float and when you leave. Here you choose the hour, the driver waits for you, and the price is fixed per vehicle.

Highlights

• Reach the Dead Sea shore about 40 minutes after leaving your Jerusalem hotel
• Float on your own schedule instead of the bus timetable
• Descend through the Judean desert past the sea-level marker
• Travel in a private air-conditioned car for your group only
• Pay a fixed price per vehicle, not per seat
• Book the return leg for the cooler late afternoon

Good to know

Take the earliest slot you can manage: the shore is quiet before ten and crowded from eleven. Bring water shoes for the salt crust, a hat, and a change of clothes, because the water leaves a salt film that dries white. The Dead Sea is 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Jerusalem, so layers work better than a coat. On the way back the climb is slow for the first half hour.
