Popular destinations and routes from Ben Gurion
From Ben Gurion (Terminal 3), most trips head east on Route 1 toward Jerusalem, about 54 km and 50 minutes via Sha'ar HaGai and the Motza interchange. Tel Aviv and the central Gush Dan area are much closer, roughly 24 km and 29 minutes via the Ayalon Highway. For the north, we take Route 6 (the toll road) toward Haifa, Hadera and the Krayot; heading south, Route 6 and Route 40 lead to Be'er Sheva and Ashdod. The Dead Sea and Eilat are reached via Routes 1 and 90. A private door-to-door driver skips shared-taxi stops and transfers, which is especially welcome after a long flight with luggage.
