Hitchhiking out
South towards Eilat
Bear in mind that Route 40 is the least busiest route between the north and Eilat. Therefore hitching south might take some time. Bear in mind there is very little in between, so accepting a lift with someone going part of the way is only recommended if they're going to drop you off at Highway 90.
North towards Beer Sheva
After Sde Boker, Beer Sheva is the next major city. Traffic is plentiful, and getting a ride won't take long. To avoid local traffic, it's best to walk to the Dor-Alon service station. The vast majority of cars travelling north will be going in the direction of Beer Sheva.
East towards Arad or Dead Sea
For this trip be prepared for a multiple rides. You should aim for Yeruham/Dimona, and from there to Arad. Drivers on their way to Beer Sheva may take you as far as Sde Boker. In that case, ask them to drop you at the junction between Highway 40 and route 204. While it's a desolate junction, it's only 2km to walk into Sde Boker village where there's shops etc.
