Israel has one Ben Gurion International Airport with only two terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 3. Most flights arrive at 3. We have explored several options for how to get from Ben Gurion Airport to the cities of Israel.

5 ways to get from Ben Gurion airport:

1. Electric train (train) (“rakevet” in Hebrew) - runs from Terminal 3. Tickets can be bought at ticket offices or vending machines for cash or by paying with a card. It is better to check the trains in advance, you can do this on the website: http://rakevet.co.il/ (there is Russian).

The ticket must be kept until the end of the trip, as you will need it when you leave.

Benefits:

- Cheap. The cost of a train from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv is 16 shekels (4 dollars), to Jerusalem - 20 shekels (5 dollars), to Netanya - 24.5 shekels (6 dollars), to Haifa - 35.5 shekels (8 dollars) ).

- Fast. But not in all directions. For example, you can get to Tel Aviv in 15 minutes, Netanya in an hour, Haifa in 1.5 hours, and Jerusalem in 2 hours.

Disadvantages:

- Not in all directions. If you need to get to the South or the extreme North of Israel, then keep in mind that there are no trains to the Dead Sea, to Eilat, to the Golan.

- Not around the clock. At night, trains run to Tel Aviv once an hour. To Jerusalem - only from 6 am to 7 pm.

- Not every day. On Friday, from 14:00 to 19:30 Saturday, trains have a day off.

2. Bus (“Otobus” in Hebrew) - There is a green bus number 5 or 5alef from Terminal 3.

You can check the bus schedule on the website: http://www.egged.co.il/ (there is an English version).

Benefits:

- Cheap. A trip to Tel Aviv will cost about 14 shekels ($ 3.5).

Disadvantages:

- Only with a transfer. There are no direct buses from Ben Gurion. You can take bus number 5, then get off at the Ben Gurion Airport EL Al Junction stop and change to another bus.

- For a long time. It takes much longer to get there by bus than by train, transfer or taxi due to traffic jams and stops.

- Not in all directions. By bus you can get to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and several other nearby cities. But far from at all.

- Not around the clock. The buses have a timetable, but they certainly don't run at night.

- Not every day. Buses, like trains, have a rest on Saturdays.

There are days when you can get from Ben Gurion Airport only by taxi, transfer or minibus. It's Friday afternoon and Saturday.

3. Route taxis (“Moniyot sherut” in Hebrew) - are sent from Terminal 3.

Benefits:

- 24/7. Route taxis run seven days a week, day and night.

- Relatively inexpensive. The cost of a shuttle from the airport to Jerusalem is about 60 shekels (15 dollars), to Haifa - from 75 to 115 shekels (20-30 dollars).

Disadvantages:

- For a long time. Until the minibus gathers 10 people, you will need to wait. Only then does the driver leave. The trip to Jerusalem can take up to two hours, and to Haifa all three.

- Not in all directions. Only in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, perhaps the cities that are on the way, if agreed with the driver.

- Inconvenient. The minibus is usually cramped and little space. If you have a lot of luggage, have children or pets, a 2-3 hour ride in a cramped minibus is not the best start to your vacation in Israel.

4. Taxi (“monitor” in Hebrew) is a great option, straight from Terminal 3.

Benefits:

- 24/7. The taxi service does not rest on Saturdays, it works daily and around the clock.

- Comfortable. High class cars equipped with air conditioning. Picked up from the airport, taken to the entrance.

Disadvantages:

- Expensive. The cost of a taxi in Tel Aviv is from 160 to 180 shekels (from 40 to 45 dollars).

- Queues. After a long flight, I don't really want to stand in line for a taxi.

- Additional expenses. For each piece of luggage in a taxi, they charge additional money, for a trip on Shabbat - a different tariff, for waiting - another surcharge. You can calculate the exact cost of a taxi from Ben Gurion Airport.

5. Transfer - personal driver with a car. The best option for a trip at night, on Friday and Saturday. We offer transfer from Ben Gurion Airport with Israel Today.

Benefits:

- Safe. Russian-speaking female drivers with extensive driving experience.

- Various calculation options. Payment is possible in cash and by check, in dollars, in euros, in shekels.
