Shiloh Spring 2025 Excavation

Accomodations

Ritz Hotel Ibn Khaldun Street 8, Jerusalem

Tel +972-2-5412222

 

Individual Transportation from Ben Gurion Airport to Ritz Hotel / Jerusalem

The Sheroot or Nesher communal van service travelers have used in the past has gone out of business.

Trains, buses and light-rail do not run on Shabbat (Friday evening to Saturday evening). We are recommending coordinating with other volunteers on the Shiloh Facebook page to save on taxi costs. https://www.facebook.com/groups/shilohdigteam

For a private taxi, the cost is around $100 USD.
