Getting There

  • Car

    If you're driving from Tiberias, head east on Road 90 towards the Sea of Galilee. Continue for about 20 minutes until you reach the junction with Road 92. Turn left onto Road 92 and drive for approximately 15 minutes until you arrive at the intersection with Road 789. Kursi National Park is located at this intersection. Look for the signs indicating the park entrance.

  • Public Transportation

    To reach Kursi National Park using public transportation, take a bus from Tiberias to Ein Gev or the surrounding areas. You can find bus services operated by Egged. Once you arrive at Ein Gev, you may need to arrange a taxi or rideshare service to cover the final few kilometers to Kursi National Park, as public transport does not go directly to the park. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance, as they may vary.

  • Taxi or Rideshare

    If you are in a nearby town such as Katzrin or Ein Gev and prefer a more direct route to Kursi National Park, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Gett or Uber. This is particularly useful if you are traveling with a group, as you can split the cost. Ensure you have the precise address, which is at the intersection of Road 92 and Road 789, for your driver.
