Helpful Tips
Grab a yellow sherut at Damascus Gate. These shared taxis zip across the West Bank. They leave when full. You pay the driver directly. Fast, cheap, and far easier than buses.
Install Moovit before you set out. The app maps every Palestinian bus and sherut stop. It works in Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Hebron. Offline mode saves data. Route alerts arrive in English and Arabic.
Stock up on small shekels. Drivers hate breaking 200 NIS notes. Coins under 10 NIS save hassle. Cards are useless here. Exact change keeps the line moving.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed 'airport taxi' touts inside the arrivals hall quote inflated flat rates to Jerusalem or Ramallah. Insist on using the official taxi rank outside where metered cabs queue and fares are posted on a printed sheet.
Some drivers leaving Ramallah or Al-Ram checkpoint take circuitous routes through multiple checkpoints to justify a higher fare. Agree on the direct route (e.g., via Qalandia or Hizma) before departure and track with a map app.
At shared-service taxi (servees) stands near the airport, touts may demand payment for a single seat but then cram the vehicle to capacity. Confirm the fare is per person and that the driver will not pick up additional passengers en route.
