Embark on a captivating Jerusalem and Dead Sea tour, beginning at the scenic Mount Scopus. Admire the stunning view of Jerusalem's rooftops and notable sites like the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations. As we drive through Jerusalem's picturesque landscapes, we'll enter the Old City through the Zion Gate.
Within the ancient Old City walls, explore the Armenian and Jewish Quarters. Witness the fascinating 1,500-year-old Byzantine Cardo, an ancient street adorned with towering columns. Our journey takes us to the revered Western Wall, a sacred remnant of the Second Holy Temple's outer retaining walls, a testament to history and faith.
Following the path of Jesus to his crucifixion, we trace the Via Dolorosa from the 5th Station of the Cross. This sacred route leads us to Calvary, now housed within the grand Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Explore this iconic Christian landmark, where you'll encounter numerous chapels and significant Biblical sites, including the Stone of Unction and Christ's burial tomb.
Before departing the Old City, enjoy a well-deserved lunch break, and then venture into the bustling Old City bazaar. As we journey through the breathtaking desert landscape, you'll catch a glimpse of Jericho in the distance. Our tour briefly halts at the sign indicating "sea level" before descending further, reaching the extraordinary Dead Sea at a depth of 430 meters below sea level.
Relax on the Dead Sea's pristine beaches, soak in the warm sun, and experience the unique sensation of floating in its buoyant waters. The Dead Sea's natural properties are renowned for their health and beauty benefits. Take the opportunity to indulge in a mineral-rich Dead Sea mud application and capture the classic photo of effortlessly floating on the water's surface. After a truly rejuvenating experience, our tour concludes, leaving you refreshed and revitalized.
