Transfer from Haifa to Jerusalem

Our ship will be in Haifa for 3 days. We would like to arrange a transfer to Jerusalem so that we can stay at a hotel on our own and return to Haifa in the late afternoon of the next day. Does anyone know of such a service? We do not need a guide. The ship has a trip like this but it is quite costly and returns right after breakfast on the second day. We understand that the trip takes 2 hours.

It sounds like you want a taxi, which will cost you approximately $200 each way, assuming you're traveling on a weekday:

Also, the trip will take you more like 2.5 hours.

If coming on a week day (Sun-Third) the cheapest and easy way will be to take a Metronit bus, from the main st out of the terminal to Merkazit Hamifratz CBS (runs every 5 min) and from there to take a bus to Jerusalem.

Thanks for the info. I think I will also check with the hotel to see if they can arrange something.

Hi all

Any idea how to get from Jerusalem to Ashdod on a Friday night?

One way only, taxi. Take into consideration that the taxi will take you all the way to the port gate only, as only authorised taxis can enter the port. You won't be able to walk from the gate to the port.

Try to close a deal with the driver taking you to Jerusalem to pick you back to Ashdod, unless you are going to use a bus on your way to Jerusalem.

Friday is complicated day for independent traveling.

Taxi from Ashdod to Jerusalem should cost around 90 Euro, but coming back on Friday evening take into consideration at least 150 Euro!

Thank you, Talia.

We are thinking of taking a taxi Thursday from Ashdod to Jerusalem and staying overnight and going back later in the evening on Friday from Jerusalem to Ashdod. Other plan would be to go to Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon and then taxi to Haifa( where the boat will be on Saturday. Any taxi companies to recommend?

Is it less complicated to taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv late in the afternoon on Friday (around 5pm) Shabbat candles are to be lit at 5:44 on Oct 2 (according to Chabad).

You can walk from the port to the train station, it's not far and then get a train to Tel Aviv. From there we caught a local mini bus service to Jerusalem. We did it and then stayed overnight in Jerusalem at St Andrews Hotel. I can thoroughly recommend this, it was very easy.

Thank you. Did you do any of this on Friday night or Saturday? is the local mini bus a sherut?

Thanks,

There is no bus, train or any oublic transportation service between Friday afternoon until Saturday evening!

Sherut is working on Sabbath but then it is not that easy...

You will have to take a taxi from the port to Hadar where the Sherut to Tel Aviv is leaving. This will bring you to Tel Aviv CBS from there you'll need to take another Sherut to Jerusalem...

All together this is a big "time sucking" option as at each place you'll have to wait for the taxi to fill out and that is a matter of pure luck as it can take between few minutes to an hour or more...

Thanks Talia.

If we are staying at a hotel, can I presume that they will be able to arrange a taxi Friday night?
