To The Dead Sea and Back

Egged has started selling advanced tickets on buses to the Dead Sea. Tickets bought ahead for buses to Eilat have, for some time, brought a promise of a seat. If they sell more than a bus-full of tickets, Egged adds a bus. I'm guessing the Dead Sea route will work the same way. Up to now on the Dead Sea route, if the bus filled up, those still in line had to wait for the next scheduled bus, about a hour in the morning.

The 486 bus to the Dead Sea stops at Kumrun (get off along the Kalya access road), Ein Gedi and Massada before it gets to the hotels and spas in Ein Bokek. When you want to return to Jerusalem from Kalya, inside Kibbutz Ein Gedi, or Massada ask the driver to make sure you are taking the bus in the correct direction.

Decide ahead of time which Ein Gedi stop you want -- the field school, hostel and hiking path, the Kibbutz and guest house, or the spa.

Happy travels.
