There are two main trails that take you to the top. For those that aren't experienced hikers then stick to the Camel Trail which is a well-worn path.

Local buses serve the airport; however, as a way to reach your hotel, we recommend you take either a private transfer, whether privately booked prior to travel or provided by your hotel, or a local taxi located outside the arrival hall.
