Door-to-door transfers to Ein Bokek and the Dead Sea beaches
Almaxpress Taxi provides private taxi transfers from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and anywhere in central Israel to the Dead Sea. Instead of connecting through infrequent intercity buses, you are collected at your home, hotel or the airport and driven straight to your Ein Bokek hotel or chosen beach. The Ein Bokek resort strip holds most of the region's hotels along with a well-kept free public beach, and we deliver you to the exact entrance rather than a highway junction. We also serve Ein Gedi, Masada and the northern Kalia beaches along Route 90. Vehicles are clean and air-conditioned, drivers are professional and reliable, and for airport pickups we track your flight so the car is ready when you land.
The descent to the lowest point on Earth
The drive itself is part of the experience. Leaving Jerusalem, Route 1 falls quickly through the Judean Desert toward the Jordan Valley, and Route 90 then runs south along the shoreline to the southern basin at Ein Bokek. Over this stretch you descend to roughly 430 metres below sea level, the lowest dry land on the planet, with sweeping desert and sea views on the way down. It is a long, winding descent that rewards a driver who knows the road. Summers here are intensely hot, so a private climate-controlled car is far more comfortable than an exposed bus stop. Our drivers make the descent smoothly and can pause at a viewpoint if you would like a photo.
One-way transfer or a full day trip with waiting
You can book either direction as a simple one-way transfer, or choose a day trip where the driver waits and brings you back. The day-trip option suits visitors who want a few hours to float in the mineral-rich water, use a hotel beach or spa, and see Masada or Ein Gedi without worrying about the sparse return transport from the southern Dead Sea. Just tell us your rough schedule and we build the waiting time into the confirmed price. Whether you need a single airport-to-hotel drop or a full round trip from Tel Aviv, book your taxi now — instant price in the calculator, or message us on WhatsApp +972-50-912-2133 for a price confirmed before you travel.

What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the ride (business days); between 24 and 6 hours a partial cancellation fee may apply; less than 6 hours or no-show — full charge. Cancel in writing via WhatsApp or email.
Do you have a vehicle for a large group?
Yes — large taxi (6 seats), 10-seat van and 19-seat minibus, luggage included. Book the vehicle on the group-transfers page or in the calculator and the price is confirmed within minutes.
How long does the taxi ride to the Dead Sea take?
From Jerusalem it is roughly 95 minutes (about 112 km): you descend on Route 1 toward the Jordan Valley, then follow Route 90 south along the shoreline to Ein Bokek. From Tel Aviv allow about 2 hours (about 173 km) since you first climb to Jerusalem or cross via Route 6 and Route 90. Exact time depends on pickup point, traffic near Jerusalem, and any stops you request along the way.
Can the driver wait so I can do a day trip and return the same day?
Yes. Many customers book a round trip where the driver waits at Ein Bokek while you float in the water, use a hotel beach, or visit a spa, then drives you home. This is popular because public transport to the southern Dead Sea is infrequent. Tell us your planned hours on WhatsApp and we will confirm the wait-and-return price within minutes, so the car is ready when you are.
Which Dead Sea destinations do you cover?
We drive to the Ein Bokek hotel strip (Herods, Leonardo, Isrotel, Prima and neighbouring hotels), the free public beach at Ein Bokek, and points along Route 90 such as Ein Gedi nature reserve and beach, Masada's base, and the Kalia / northern beaches. Tell us your exact hotel or beach and we deliver you to the door rather than a distant junction.
Is the winding descent to the Dead Sea safe by taxi?
The road drops from Jerusalem's hills to about 430 metres below sea level, so there is a long, steep descent through the Judean Desert. Our drivers know this route well, keep vehicles maintained and air-conditioned, and drive it safely year-round. The desert stretch can be very hot in summer, which is exactly why a private car with climate control is more comfortable than waiting for a bus.
How much does a taxi to the Dead Sea cost?
Book your taxi now — instant price in the calculator, per the official meter tariff (pickup city, exact destination and one-way vs. day trip all feed into it). For a large vehicle, book a large taxi (6 seats), a 10-seat van or a 19-seat minibus — the price is confirmed within minutes. You can also message us on WhatsApp +972-50-912-2133 with your details.
Can you handle a group with luggage or a larger family?
Yes. Private cars seat up to 4 passengers; for groups, book a large taxi (6 seats), a 10-seat van or a 19-seat minibus, with room for beach bags, coolers and luggage. For families visiting a Dead Sea hotel for several nights, a van keeps everyone together in one comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle instead of splitting across taxis. Tell us your group size when you book so we assign the right vehicle.
