Day Trip to Jericho

After picking you up from your hotel in Jerusalem at 8:30 am, we will depart for Jericho, the oldest city in the world, and take a panoramic tour of its historical center to learn about this ancient settlement.

We will explore the extensive history of this Biblical city, visiting important sites like the Sycamore tree from the story of Zacchaeus and Elisha's Spring.
