Walking
From Manger Square in Bethlehem, head north towards the main road, Route 60. Turn right onto Route 60 and continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers. You will pass through the security checkpoint into Jerusalem. Once you have crossed the checkpoint, stay on Route 60, which becomes Derech Hebron. Continue straight for around 4 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Ein Gedi street. Turn left onto Ein Gedi street and walk approximately another 1 kilometer. The Ein Gedi Eco Park will be on your right.
Public Transport
From Manger Square, walk to the nearby bus station located on Bethlehem Road (the main road). Take the bus heading towards Jerusalem (look for signs indicating Jerusalem or ask the bus driver). Once in Jerusalem, get off at the Central Bus Station. After disembarking, look for buses heading towards Ein Gedi or a bus that goes along Route 60. If there is no direct bus, you can take a bus towards the Dead Sea area and ask the driver to drop you off at Ein Gedi. The Eco Park is a short walk from the bus stop.
