Walking
From the Ein Gedi Kibbutz area, head east towards the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve entrance. Once you reach the entrance, follow the signs to the main hiking trails. After about a 30-minute hike through the reserve, you will arrive at the waterfall area. From there, continue eastward until you reach the main road (Route 90). Cross the road carefully, and you will find the bus stop for buses heading towards Jerusalem.
Bus
After arriving at the bus stop on Route 90, wait for the bus heading to Jerusalem. Buses in this region are relatively frequent but check the schedule posted at the bus stop for specific times. Once you board, enjoy the scenic ride through the Judean Desert. The journey to Jerusalem takes around 1.5 hours. Get off at the bus stop closest to the Wohl Rose Garden. Once you disembark, follow signs to the garden, which is a short walk away.
Taxi
If you prefer not to wait for public transport, you can hire a taxi from the Ein Gedi Kibbutz. Ask the driver to take you to the Wohl Rose Garden in Jerusalem. The taxi ride will take approximately 1 hour, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey. Upon arrival, the garden will be clearly marked, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
