  • When visiting Jerusalem, you will surely be approached by numerous taxi drivers offering to drive you to Bethlehem. One driver pulled over on a busy street to solicit us. After we said no, he backed up and kept making offers to us for about 50 meters.

    If you do hire a driver to take you to Bethlehem, make sure that he is not going to smuggle anything into or out of the Palestinian territory. Drivers figure that they will have less scrutiny at the security check-point if they are transporting tourists. They can also pass the blame onto you, saying that the contraband is yours.

    Transportation: Parking problems

  • It is VERY difficult to find parking in Jerusalem. There are meters( about 4 shekels per hour) but if you overstay your limit or park illegally there are steep fines. Better use public transport or walk.

    Transportation: Public works

  • Jerusalem is in the middle of a complicated engineering project designed to lay tram tracks though the city- as a result some streets have been dug up and downtown traffic is a bit haphazard.

    If you are driving to Jerusalem area from the center of Israel (Route no.1) don't drive too fast - the road can be tricky.

    Also - if it is winter it can be foggy and slippery.
    While returning from En Kerem i saw 2 car accidents.
