Ashdod shuttle bus?

Is there a shuttle bus to town at Ashdod? did Jerusalem and Bethlehem last time we were there, just want a walk round this time.

We are on Spirit next week and have booked a guide for both days in Ashdod, when researching into it i was told by 2 locals that seemed knowledgable there will be a shuttle bus laid on between the port and town so i think the answer is yes.

How did you find Jerusalem and Bethlehem, we are doing these 2 on one day and then the Dead Sea and Tel Aviv the other day ?

Small family group with teenagers so asked the guide to make it interesting and not too intense

Enjoy whenever you are going anyway

Jerusalem and Bethlehem really enjoyed it, bit expensive with Thomson but wouldn't risk a delay on getting back on board, I thought the tour guide was poor telling us not to buy anything off street vendors etc as it wasn't safe and we wold be taken to a place in Bethlehem for souvenirs, we were but it was very expensive, obviously a ploy to make you buy there last minute.

We are doing this trip on the Monday so no big rush to get back as we stay in Ashdod overnight, reviews for the guide we have booked are very good so fingers crossed it will be a good day for us all.

Can you remember what the acceptable "dress code" was in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, have been told 3/4 length shorts or skirt below knees and a top which at least covers shoulders is fine for male and female, does that sound about right ?

Hi shoulders covered and better to wear trousers or skirt to cover knees I usually take a cardigan with me and can put it on when needed to cover arms. Its a fab place so much to see there

just a very small shopping mall ,which wont open until 10.30 so no rush for first shuttle,unless you decide to take bus to tel aviv ,bit of a walk round but you must use ships shuttle do not attempt to return by taxi.

Shuttle bus takes you to the sea mall which is quite small , but opposite is a much larger ,newer mall.

You can walk to the beach in about 10 mins , through a smart park.

The beach is very clean and tidy and not very many people on it last week.

Thanks for all the reply's, lot of money being spent in Ashdod, luxury apartments being built every where
