Give your host your car number, model and color and your estimated time of arrival and ask him/her to fax the security entry form to the main (west) or east gate. (Map of Technion campus).

You then make a right turn at the T junction (mandatory) and then a left at the next traffic light, following the sign to the Technion.Stay on this road (called Fleiman and then Freud) for about 4Km, until you reach a T junction with a traffic light. Turn left and immediately right at the next light into Pica Road. Follow this road for about 1.5 Km, and bear right after the gas station. After about 1 Km take the left lane where the road goes under a tunnel. Bear right just before the next traffic light into Komoi Street and then i bear to the left at the following light.
