Discover the world's oldest city and explore the origins of Christianity on a day trip to Jericho.

Day Trip Details

After hotel pickup in Jerusalem, we will travel east to Jericho, the oldest city in the world. A panoramic tour of its historical center will provide insights into this ancient urban settlement. Key sites include the Sycamore tree from the story of Zacchaeus and Elisha's Spring.

We will also visit the western part of the city to take the Jericho Cable Car, recognized as the longest cable car below sea level. It offers stunning views and takes us to the Mount of Temptation, known for its significant biblical views.

Next, we will proceed to Qaser el Yahud on the Jordan River, the reputed site of John the Baptist's baptism of Jesus, popular for visitor baptisms.

The final stop is the Dead Sea, where you can relax in the water and experience its natural healing properties. The day trip concludes at the original meeting point in Jerusalem after 10 hours.
