Airport: ,Cruise: ,ByGuide: You need to take bus number 234 from the Arab bus station in Damascus Gate (Called Bab el-'Amoud in Arabic) in Jerusalem. This bus goes to Bethlehem 300 Checkpoint as the last station. The bus runs every 15 minutes and it takes around 30 minutes to arrive at Bethlehem checkpoint. Once you get off the bus, you need to walk through the terminal then cross the apartheid wall to Bethlehem side; it's easy and it takes few minutes to cross. All you have to do is walk through the terminal to Bethlehem side.
