Gaza City Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The only entry/exit point at the time of writing was Erez. At the time of writing, access was only allowed to visitors with special permits given by the IDF or Ministry of the Internal Affairs (ie journalists, aid workers and diplomats). Erez is reached by sherut from Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem (50NIS per person), but allow lots of time to await other passengers. A private taxi will cost around 300NIS.

Or, take an Egged bus from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon (21NIS, one hour, every 30 minutes) and find a southbound bus to Yad Mordechai junction; taxis (10NIS, five minutes) run the last 5km to the Erez border.
