The route and destination options
The drive heads east out of Jerusalem on Route 1 through Mishor Adumim, then winds down to the Dead Sea basin. At the junction you choose north or south: the northern beaches (Kalia, Neve Midbar, Biankini) are about 45-70 km and 50-70 minutes away, while the Ein Bokek hotel strip in the south sits about 112 km and 95 minutes away via Route 90. The southern leg passes the Ein Gedi reserve and Masada, both easy to add as a stop. Your driver confirms the exact destination - hotel, managed beach, or trailhead - so you arrive comfortably door-to-door.
Tips for families and business travelers
The Dead Sea is a favorite with families thanks to its shallow water and therapeutic mud. For a smooth trip with kids we provide child seats on request, room for luggage, and cold water on board. Keep in mind the basin is hot even in shoulder seasons, so a clean, well-air-conditioned car makes a real difference. For business travelers and events at Ein Bokek hotels, we offer scheduled pickups, an organized meet, and van options for groups. Our drivers are professional, speak Hebrew and English, and know the valley roads and peak return times well.
Airport meet & greet and night rides
Arriving straight from Ben Gurion Airport to the Dead Sea? We track your flight in real time, so even if landing is delayed your driver waits accordingly, with a meet & greet in the arrivals hall and a name sign. The trip from the airport to Ein Bokek is about 150 km, roughly 2 hours, via Route 6 and Route 90. For evening returns we recommend booking ahead: Route 90 is dark and remote at night, and a local, experienced driver ensures a safe trip back. Service runs 24 hours a day, Sunday–Friday; there is no service on Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and Saturday-night rides are by advance booking.

How long is the drive?
From Jerusalem to the Dead Sea (northern beaches/Kalia) takes about 35-40 minutes. To the Ein Bokek hotels it is about 112 km, about 95 minutes in normal traffic.
Can we stop at Sea Level sign?
Yes! The Sea Level marker is a popular photo stop. Just ask the driver, and we'll be happy to stop for a few minutes for photos and camels.
Do you offer round trips?
Absolutely. You can book a round trip where the driver waits for you while you float or visit Masada, or schedule a pickup for a later time/date.
How long does the drive from Jerusalem to Ein Bokek take?
Usually about 95 minutes (about 1.5 hours) for 112 km. The route descends sharply from Jerusalem (roughly 800 m above sea level) to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth at around 430 m below sea level, so travel time is fairly consistent with little traffic once you leave the city.
Is a taxi better than a bus to the Dead Sea?
Egged buses leave from Jerusalem's central station but run less frequently and don't go door-to-door. A taxi takes you directly from your hotel or home to the beach or any Ein Bokek hotel, which is far easier with children, luggage, and an evening return.
Can I travel to the Dead Sea on Shabbat?
We operate 24 hours a day, Sunday–Friday, including night rides. There is no service on Shabbat and Jewish holidays; Saturday-night rides are by advance booking, departing after Shabbat ends.
Can we stop at Masada or Ein Gedi on the way?
Absolutely. Ein Gedi and Masada sit right on Route 90 on the way to Ein Bokek. We can arrange a stop or a full day tour combining the Ein Gedi reserve, Masada, and a float in the sea. Share your plan on WhatsApp and the price is confirmed within minutes.
Do you provide child safety seats?
Yes. Booster or child seats can be requested when you book, with no surprise surcharge. Just tell us the children's ages so we prepare the right vehicle in advance.
