Car
If you're traveling by car, start from Jerusalem. Head southeast on Route 1 towards the Dead Sea. After about 30 km, take the exit for Route 90 towards Eilat. Continue on Route 90 for approximately 15 km until you see signs for An-Nabi Musa. Turn left onto the access road leading to the site. There is parking available near the entrance. Please note that there may be a small entrance fee for parking.
Public Transportation
To reach An-Nabi Musa via public transport, start at the Jerusalem Central Bus Station. Take a bus heading to the Dead Sea (for example, bus number 486). The journey takes about 1 hour. Get off at the 'An-Nabi Musa' stop. From there, it's a short walk (approximately 500 meters) to the entrance of the Prophet Moses site. Be sure to check the bus schedule in advance, as services may vary.
Taxi or Rideshare
For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or rideshare service from Jerusalem. This option will take around 40 minutes depending on traffic. It's advisable to agree on a fare beforehand or check the estimated price on your rideshare app. Taxis typically charge a premium for longer trips, so expect to pay around 250-300 ILS for the journey.
