Day Trip to Jericho
After pickup from selected hotels in Jerusalem at 8:30 am, we will depart for Jericho, known as the oldest city in the world. A panoramic tour around its historical center will provide insights into this ancient urban settlement.
We will explore significant sights, including the Sycamore tree associated with the biblical story of Zacchaeus and Elisha's Spring. Next, we will visit the western part of the city to experience the Jericho Cable Car, recognized as the longest cable car below sea level. This will take us to the Mount of Temptation, offering remarkable views also noted in the Bible.
Continuing our excursion, we will stop at Qaser el Yahud on the Jordan River, believed to be the site of John’s baptism of Jesus, which attracts visitors for baptisms. Our final stop will be at the Dead Sea, where you can relax and enjoy its natural healing properties. The tour will conclude back in Jerusalem at approximately 6:30 pm.
