Getting Around Israel: Transport and Travel

On an AJET pilgrimage you travel by private, air conditioned coach, with a licensed guide and a professional driver. You never have to arrange transport yourself, which frees you to focus on the journey.

How do pilgrimage groups travel?

Your group has its own modern motorcoach, sized to your numbers, for every touring day. The same driver stays with you from arrival to departure, and your airport transfers are included at both ends.

How far apart are the sites?

Israel is a small country, which is part of its wonder. Jerusalem to the Sea of Galilee is only about two and a half to three hours. Most days involve comfortable, scenic drives rather than long hauls, and the changing landscape is a joy in itself.

What if you travel independently before or after?

If you add your own days, Israel has good trains linking Tel Aviv, the airport, and Jerusalem, along with buses, taxis, and ride apps. Keep in mind that most public transport pauses for Shabbat, from Friday evening to Saturday evening.

Getting from the airport

Almost everyone arrives at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. Your AJET team meets you there with a warm welcome and takes you straight to your hotel.
