“Just note the location of airport”

★★★★☆

written by Gerardoj13 on 17/02/2016

Ryanair flight Ovda, Israel to Budapest, Hungary.

The tiny int'l airport of Ovda (or sometimes pronounced Uvda, but do not confuse it with OvdaT) (airport VDA) is not the same airport as Eilat, even if your flight may say to/from "Eilat-Ovda". Ovda is located in the middle of the desert and requires another bus/taxi. However, it seems well worth it, as even after the bus ticket the price is cheaper.

Since Ovda int'l airport is hard to find, take bus line 392 to/from Eilat/Jerusalem. The bus stop is called "Ovda sde teufa" (in Hebrew) and since it's on the side of the road, you have to make a left turn and walk about 20 minutes. There will be a sign differenciating between the civilian airport and the military airport but even to the civilian airport you will need to pass a big yellow security gate with friendly guards at the entrance. The building is currently desert-red and sandy yellow (as of 2016). The departures entrance is to the left of the building.
