From the airport, take Highway One east to Jerusalem. It is
approx. a 50 minute drive. Upon arrival, follow the signs to the Old City. Go
clockwise around the historic golden walls of Jerusalem from Damascus Gate to
Lion's Gate. The incline of the Mount of Olives is just opposite Lion's Gate.
Continue along the road a bit further until you reach the
The Garden of Gethsemene
.
Look for the Church of All Nations, turn left and continue eastward & up.
After a fairly steep climb, the twisting & narrow road will suddenly end in
a "T". Turn right and drive about 15 meters. The hotel is located
next to the
Chapel of the Ascension.
If you do happen to get lost along the way, don't be shy to ask for directions.
Below is a "quick & dirty" language survival guide:
Hebrew: "Afo Har Ha-Zayteem?"
Arabic: "Wayn Jebel Al-Zaytoun fi
Alquds?"
If they start waiving their arms in all directions and
shouting back a long explanation in an unfamiliar guttural language, then at
that point you are on your own!
Just kidding!!! Find a telephone and call the hotel for help.
