Getting there

Public Bus

From the center of Salt, make your way to the local bus terminal, which is typically located near the main market area. Look for buses heading to Jericho; they usually display their destination on a sign in the front window. Once you board the bus, the journey to Jericho will take approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on traffic. When you arrive in Jericho, ask the driver to drop you off at Ain es-sultan Street. From the bus stop, follow Ain es-sultan Street towards the cable car station, which is well-signposted and should be within a 10-minute walk.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct option, you can find a taxi from the main square in Salt. Make sure to negotiate the fare before getting in. Inform the driver that you want to go to the Jericho Cable Car on Ain es-sultan Street. The drive will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic. The taxi will drop you off right at the entrance of the cable car station.

Walking

If you are feeling adventurous and want to experience the area, you can walk to Jericho, but please note that it is a long journey and not recommended for most tourists. Begin by heading towards the main roads out of Salt, following signs to Jericho. This is a long trek of approximately 30 kilometers and may take several hours. Ensure you have plenty of water, wear comfortable shoes, and plan accordingly for heat and sun exposure.
