The Sacred Serenity of the Greek Orthodox Monastery in Jerusalem

Getting There

• Bus

  To reach the Greek Orthodox Monastery in Jerusalem from the Dead Sea, start by locating the nearest bus stop in your area. You can ask locals or check for signs indicating public transport. Take a bus heading towards Jerusalem, which is often labeled on the front. The journey will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive at the main bus station in Jerusalem, disembark and look for signs directing you to the Old City. You can either walk or take a local bus or tram that goes to the Old City. The monastery is located near the Christian Quarter of the Old City, so follow the signs or ask for directions to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and from there, it's a short walk to the monastery.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in the Dead Sea to Jerusalem. Look for taxi services available in your hotel or nearby. Inform the driver that your destination is the Greek Orthodox Monastery in Jerusalem. The ride will take about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Jerusalem, you can ask the driver to drop you off near the Old City or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and from there, it's a short walk to the monastery.

• Shared Shuttle

  Another option is to use a shared shuttle service, which can be arranged through your hotel or local travel agencies. Make sure to book your shuttle in advance. The shuttle will take you to Jerusalem and drop you off at a central location, likely near the Old City. Once you arrive, follow the directions to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and from there, it’s a quick walk to the Greek Orthodox Monastery.
