Bethlehem and Jericho Day Tours

For Christian tourists, a Bethlehem and Jericho day tour is a must for any Holy Land itinerary. As most people know Bethlehem was the site of Jesus’ birth just over 2,000 years ago and Jericho is an ancient city that features in the Old Testament and was visited by Jesus. Today both Bethlehem and Jericho are thriving cities in the Palestinian Authority West Bank and make an excellent combination for a one-day tour.

Bethlehem is about 10km from Jerusalem and Jericho is not far away near the northern shore of the Dead Sea. Bethlehem and Jericho day tours travel through the Judean Hills and arrive in Bethlehem’s Manger Square. The day tours visit the Church of the Nativity, a 4th-century church built around the Holy Grotto where the nativity took place. Other stops in Bethlehem include St Catherine’s Church.

Bethlehem and Jericho day tours then travel to Jericho where you can learn of the walls of Jericho that came tumbling down with G_d’s help and about Jesus’ visit to the city. See the Sycamore tree climbed by Zacchaeus as he tried to get a better look at Jesus.
