From Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv:

- Take the Sheirut taxi (50 shekels) to Jerusalem, ask to get off as close as possible to Damascus Gate.
- From Damascus Gate (Bab el Aamoud in Arabic) walk up the road to the Arab Bus Station, and ask for the service (shared taxi) to Ramallah (number 18) which costs 6 ½ shekels.
- The service will drop you off on the main road in Ramallah city centre. The bus station is just a bit further down this road on the other side. So, cross the road and go up a ramp to the second floor of the bus station. From here take a service to Nablus, which costs 15 shekels.
- Huwwara checkpoint is now "open" so you don't have to walk through it anymore. Just stay in the service, and it will drop you off at the city centre, in front of the new mall.
- At the city center ask for Al-Yasmeen Hotel (Funduq Al-Yasmeen, in Arabic). Go inside, and say you're with Project Hope. They will sort you out!
