Naomi & Dor

Where are you flying to: You will be flying into TLV Ben Gurion Airport. 

When to arrive / depart: We recommend that you stay at least a few days before and after the ceremony. This will also allow you to explore all Tel Aviv has to offer and other parts of Israel! And remember, weekends in Israel are Friday and Saturday, so the city is very lively Thursday nights!

When to book your tickets: At least a couple months before your trip. Flights to Tel Aviv can get pricey, but starting your search early could help you land some sweet deals. Also, extended layovers in major cities such as Istanbul, Madrid, Rome, etc. could further reduce airfare.

Gett Taxi: Basically Uber for taxis. There is no Uber in Israel. You can use the Uber app for taxis as well.

Lime, Bird, or Wind Scooters: There are tons of scooters and drop off / pick up locations throughout Tel Aviv. Scooters are a great way to get around and explore.

Israel Railways: Best for train travel. You can plan and pay for your train pass ahead of your journey.

Waze: If you are planning on renting a car, waze is the most commonly used navigation app.

You can take the train or the taxi to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

Taxi: The official taxi line can be found outside the Arrivals Hall, usually by terminal 3 and 1 on the ground floor (see image below). Taxis should be lined up with a dispatcher to assist you. Do not take taxis that are not in this line as you may get ripped off. The line is usually very quick, just let the dispatcher know which city you are headed (Jerusalem or Tel Aviv). Although some taxis take credit cards, it's best to have cash so either exchange some at the currency exchange desk in the departure terminal at Ben Gurion when you land or withdraw from the ATM near the exit of the terminal. And remember, there is no need to tip taxi drivers in Israel. Just pay the rate shown on the meter.

Estimated Fares (may vary depending on # of people and bags and time of day/year):
Airport to Tel Aviv can cost between 110-190 shekels
Airport to Jerusalem can cost between 280-360 shekels

Train: The train is probably the best budget option. Please note that the train does not operate on Shabbat (Friday Evening - Saturday Night) and Jewish holidays but on all other days it runs day and night. Please check the train schedules using this link or the Israel Railways app. The train station is located at the lower level of Ben Gurion's Terminal 3.

Train to Jerusalem: The station you need to get off at in Jerusalem is called Yitzhak Navon. It should take you 30 minutes to get from the airport to Yitzhak Navon station. When you get to Yizthak Navon, take the elevators up to the top floor, the escalators take forever. You may take a taxi from the Yitzhak Navon Station to your accommodation in Jerusalem. You may order and pay for a taxi using the app “Gett.”

Train to Tel Aviv: The stations you can get off at are Tel Aviv - HaShalom (Central Tel Aviv) and Tel Aviv - Savidor Center (Central Tel Aviv). You may take a taxi from the TLV Stations to your accommodations. You may order and pay for a taxi using the app “Gett.”

There are many ways to travel between the two cities. Our preferred method is the train (avoid traffic and budget friendly).

Train: Take the train from the “Yizthak Navon” Jerusalem station to either Tel Aviv - HaShalom (Central Tel Aviv) and Tel Aviv - Savidor Center (Central Tel Aviv) TLV stations. Please check the train schedules using this link or the Israel Railways app. The train between the two cities is about 30 min.
Taxi: You may order a taxi to take you to either city. Estimated cost is about 250 NIS. Please be aware that there is severe traffic during rush hour Sun - Thurs 7 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM.
Rent a Car: You can find many one way car rental options online. Again, please be aware that there is severe traffic during rush hour Sun - Thurs 7 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM.
