Full description
Embark on your private journey to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, starting at the picturesque Mount of Olives, offering breathtaking views of Jerusalem and a vast Jewish cemetery. Stroll to the Garden of Gethsemane, where the arrest of Jesus took place, and traverse the Kidron Valley before entering the Old City via the Zion Gate.
As you step into the Old City, your path leads through the enchanting Armenian Quarter adorned with vibrant tiles. Continue to the Jewish Quarter, where you'll explore the historic Byzantine Cardo, once bustling with shoppers. Pause at the Kotel, or Western Wall, a sacred site in Judaism, and absorb the profound atmosphere during your private tour.
Your journey continues as you follow your personal guide to the Christian Quarter, tracing the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the revered site of Jesus's crucifixion and tomb. Before bidding farewell to Jerusalem, take time to wander through the lively Old City market.
Depart Jerusalem and venture southward through the Judean Desert, descending to the lowest point on Earth. Pause for a memorable photo opportunity by the sign marking your passage below sea level. In the distance, catch sight of the ancient city of Jericho and the Jordanian mountains.
Upon reaching the Dead Sea, relish the chance to effortlessly float in its saline-rich waters, known for their therapeutic properties due to mineral richness and high oxygen levels. Embrace the rejuvenating benefits as you cover your body and face with the unique mud, and unwind on the tranquil beach. Return to your hotel fully refreshed and revitalized.
