If you're traveling by car, start by heading towards Route 90 which is the main highway in the area. Depending on your starting point in Judea, you can access Route 90 from various local roads.

The drive typically takes about 30-45 minutes from central Judea. Parking is available at the entrance, but make sure to check for any parking fees.

The total travel time may take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the connections. Keep some cash on hand for bus fares, which typically range from 15-30 NIS.
