If, as Luke's Gospel says, Joseph and Mary travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, they both walked all the way. As a poor village carpenter, Joseph could not have afforded to own or even hire a donkey. Their extreme poverty is demonstrated in Luke 2:24, when they sacrificed two doves instead of the usual lamb, a concession permitted only the very poorest. Even if they knew someone of outstanding generosity, no one would have lent them a donkey, with the serious possibility that Joseph and Mary would not have survived the long and arduous journey to and from Bethlehem.
Although the Gospel does not say, the only plausible answer in the context of Luke's Gospel is that Joseph and Mary both walked, even on the return journey when they carried Jesus.

Where does the Bible state that Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem?
A:Many Christians assume that Mary, being heavily pregnant, simply must have ridden on a donkey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) says that village carpenters were usually among the poorest of the poor, scarcely able to afford the necessities of life. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that Mary's offering of pigeons in the Temple is clear proof of how poor the couple must have been. On this evidence, it is inconceivable that Joseph and Mary could have owned a donkey or that they could have hired a donkey for the long and dangerous trip to Bethlehem.

From Bethlehem to Rafah at the border to Eqypt there is about 80 miles, so I'll guess you can walk that in about 26 hours (assuming you don't mind a stroll through the Gaza strip on the way!)

Why did Mary travel to Bethlehem so heavily pregnant?
The Bible does not say. It has no sense......Neither Luke nor Matthew in their birth stories in the gospels give us any details of the route that Mary and Joseph took, for a simple reason. The details were unnecessary and unimportant in the telling of the story. What was important was that Jesus was from Nazareth and was born in Bethlehem as a result of the emperor's taxation which fulfilled a prophesy in the Old Testament about the coming of the Messiah. However, if you look on a map of the area it seems likely that they began at Nazareth, near the Sea of Galilee (now called lake Tiberius) and travelled down the Jordan valley towards Jericho. Jericho was on a main trade route to Jerusalem, but this road (no more than a track by modern standards) was notorious for bandits and thieves, and so it is unlikely they would have taken this direct route. It is probable then that they carried on along the shores of the Dead Sea, turning east before Admah towards Bethlehem.
