This private tour of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, complete with guide, begins with you being picked up at Ashdod Port and driven to one of the world’s most holy cities. After stopping at the Mount of Olives, giving you the opportunity to take in panoramic views of Jerusalem (including a view of the golden Dome of the Rock) you begin your walk through the Old City. Stroll through the Armenian Quarter and admire the brightly-coloured ceramic tiles and pottery, and onto the excavated Cardo - a bustling main thoroughfare in Roman times and today full of modern stores. Continue onto the Western Wall (‘Kotel’ in Hebrew), a site incredibly holy to Jews and the last remaining structure of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70AD. Afterwards, walk in the footsteps of Jesus, along the Via Dolorosa, stopping at the Stations of the Cross, Step inside the magnificent tChurch of the Holy Sepulchre, the place where Jesus was both executed and buried, and a focal point for Christian pilgrims today.
Continue on in your private car, with your guide, to the Dead Sea, passing through the Judean Desert. As you travel, you will see ancient Jericho in the distance and have the chance to stop for a photo opportunity at the sign stating that you are now below sea level! Arriving at the Dead Sea, float in its saline-rich waters (so salty you can even read a newspaper!) When you reach the Dead Sea you can enjoy the beach and float in the saline-rich water. If you choose, you can also take some of the black mud on the shores and use it as a face or body mask - the health benefits are tremendous - or simply relax in the nearby sulphur pools. After your time relaxing here, you will be driven back to your hotel in Ashdod, feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
