Where is the Ashdod cruise port?
Ships dock inside the working Port of Ashdod, either at the passenger terminal or at berths in the cargo harbour. Pedestrians cannot walk through the port, so passengers take the port shuttle to the gate, where taxis wait. The Ashdod marina is about 10–15 minutes by taxi, and Jerusalem's Old City about 1 to 2 hours by road.
