Jerusalem, Jericho & Dead Sea Tour Itinerary

Our Jerusalem, Jericho & Dead Sea Tour begins in the heart of Jerusalem's Old City, where history, faith, and culture come together within its ancient stone walls. Our first stop is the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest place of prayer, where you'll have the opportunity to leave a personal prayer or note between the ancient stones, a tradition practiced by millions of visitors from around the world.

From there, we'll stroll through the lively streets and colorful markets of the Muslim Quarter, following part of the historic Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross) as we make our way to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. According to Christian tradition, this sacred site marks the locations of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, making it one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Christianity.

Leaving Jerusalem behind, we'll descend through the spectacular Judean Desert toward Jericho, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities and often referred to as the City of Palm Trees. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking desert landscapes while learning about the region's fascinating biblical and historical significance.

In Jericho, we'll visit the traditional Sycamore Tree of Zacchaeus, associated with the Gospel account of the tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus as He passed through the city. We'll also enjoy a panoramic view of the Mount of Temptation, where Christian tradition holds that Jesus fasted for forty days and was tempted by Satan before beginning His public ministry.

Our visit continues to Hisham's Palace, one of the finest examples of early Islamic architecture in the region. Here you'll admire its remarkably preserved eighth-century mosaic floor, considered one of the largest and most impressive ancient mosaics ever discovered.

From Jericho, we'll continue to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and one of the world's most extraordinary natural wonders. You'll have free time to float effortlessly in its mineral-rich waters, experience the famous therapeutic Dead Sea mud, relax on the beach, and admire the breathtaking scenery that surrounds this unique destination.

At the end of this unforgettable experience, we'll return to Jerusalem through the magnificent Judean Desert, bringing home lasting memories of a day filled with biblical history, ancient civilizations, spectacular landscapes, and the incomparable experience of visiting the Dead Sea.
