== Hitchhiking out ==
 
=== To [[Jerusalem]] ===
Wait at any point on Highway 90 (preferably a bus station) head north to the [[Beit Ha'arava Junction]]. Get off at the [[Beit Ha'arava Junction]], and continue at the ''[[trempiada]]'' at the beginning of Highway 1 going west to [[Jerusalem]]. Having said that, most probably your ride will be already going to Jerusalem (most do) so there won't be any need to change rides at Beit Ha'Arava junction. If you do neet to change ride, from Beit HaArava junction it is best to wait for a ride that is going directly to Jerusalem without any stop, unless your goal is not actually to get to Jerusalem, but a town along the way, such as [[Ma'ale Adummim]], in which case there should be people headed there as well.
== Hitching in ==
 
=== From [[Jerusalem]] ===
 
Get to the [[Jerusalem#French_Hill_junction|French hill junction]]. The place is usually crowded with hitchhikers, and drivers stop often. Most likely they will go only half ways, in which case you should ask to go down in the entry junction to their settlement, and continue hitchhiking from the bus station.
:[[User:Halt,_Stop!_Reudnitz_kommt.|Craig]] found it easy to get a lift even from inside Jerusalem. A bus stop in front of the Hebrew University looked perfect to set off. Since recently you can get there hitchhiking from in front the Damascus gate (sounds strange, but worked numerous times: 10 mins, 5 mins).
See [[Jerusalem#East_to_the_Dead_Sea.2C_Northern_Israel|Jerusalem]] article for more details.
== Sleep and Eat Resources ==The Dead Sea does not offer too much accommodation options for the budget traveler. One obvious option on the Israeli side is the [http://www.youth-hostels.org.il/youth-hostels/asg_e/Category_eng_60.html Ein Gedi Youth Hostel], Masada Youth Hostel or Ein Gedi field school (it's a hostel). Another option is [[Camping]], which is possible in all the seasons of the year. Camping can be done only in designated areas:# Ein Bokek beach (a very good option, toilets, shower and lots of cafes and restaurant around) - two sites: in front of David hotel, in front of Isrotel Dead Sea hotel.# Desert camping sites (no services at all) such as near the foot of Masada National Park, or at Nahal Rahaf (Rahaf (dry) stream) close to highway 90, between Masada and Ein Bokek,{{nomadwiki}}
