Car
If you're driving, start on Route 40 (also known as the Arava Road) heading south from any major city in the Southern District. Follow signs towards Eilat. Continue on Route 40 until you reach the junction with Route 90. Take the exit onto Route 90 heading north towards the Dead Sea. After approximately 10 km, look for signs indicating the exit for '902'. Turn onto the access road and follow it directly to the location. Make sure to check for any tolls, although this route does not generally incur charges.
Public Transportation
To reach 902 via public transport, first, take a bus from your location to Eilat. The Egged bus service is reliable and connects various towns in the Southern District to Eilat. Once in Eilat, you can take a local bus towards the Dead Sea. Make sure to check the bus schedules in advance since they may vary. Ask the bus driver to drop you at the nearest stop to '902'. From there, it may be necessary to walk a short distance, so be prepared for a little walking. Be aware of any bus fare costs; they generally range from 20-40 ILS depending on your starting point.
Taxi or Rideshare
For a more direct and potentially quicker option, consider taking a taxi or using a rideshare app like Gett or Uber. Simply input '902' as your destination. Taxis are readily available in most cities and will charge based on distance, typically starting around 25 ILS, plus additional per kilometer. This can be a convenient option, especially if you're traveling with luggage or in a group.
