CERE CONFERENCE 2023 May 21-23

Transportation

Getting to Haifa from Tel-Aviv (Ben Gurion) Airport:

The fastest and most reliable form of transportation from Ben Gurion Airport is the train. A train service is available from Ben-Gurion Airport, day and night. Information can be found at Israel-Railways web site: http://www.rail.co.il/EN/Pages/HomePage.aspx, under “Schedules and Fares”. It is recommended to get a Rav Kav at the airport

From station: “ Ben Gurion Airport”, To station: “ Hof Ha-Carmel” (first station in Haifa).
There is a service taxi or van service (called 'sherut') which departs whenever the car fills up, and takes you to Haifa for a reasonable rate of 115NIS ($30). Van service to Haifa or to Ben-Gurion Airport is provided by a company called "Amal" (Tel. 04-8662324 - 04-8676444) and can take you from the Hotel. Taxies should fill up fairly quickly. The travel time is about an hour and a quarter. The driver will usually drop-off passengers where-ever they ask in Haifa, so asking a drop-off at the Hotel is a good idea.
Private taxis from the airport to Haifa cost $120-150, but can be shared, and the price split, with a fellow participant. Car rentals are cheapest if arranged from abroad.
