This Jerusalem and Dead Sea tour starts on Mount Scopus where we enjoy an incredible view across the rooftops of Jerusalem. Your guide will point out highlights on Mount Scopus like the Garden of Gethsemane, Church of All Nations, and Kidron Valley below. Driving through the stunning Jerusalem scenery the tour reaches the Old City and enters by way of the Zion Gate.
Within the 500-year-old Old City walls, we see the Armenian Quarter and head for the ancient Jewish Quarter. See the excavated 1,500 year old Byzantine Cardo, an ancient street lined with tall columns. The Jerusalem tour visits the sacred Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Holy Temple’s outer retaining walls. This wall survived the Temple’s destruction in 70AD and is now a holy Jewish landmark.
The tour traces Jesus’s route to his crucifixion from the 5th Station of the Cross along the sacred Via Dolorosa. Bearing his cross Jesus reached Calvary which is now encompassed by the massive Church of the Holy Sepulcher. We enter this iconic Christian landmark and see many chapels and Biblical sites like the Stone of Unction and Christ’s burial tomb.
Before leaving the Old City we take a lunch break and then make our way through the Old City bazaar. Driving through the stunning desert scenery we can see Jericho in the distance. The tour pauses briefly at the sign indicating “sea level” then we descend lower and lower until we reach the Dead Sea at 430m below sea level.
The tour takes you to a Dead Sea beaches where you can relax on the sand, soak up the sun and float in the water. The Dead Sea environment is known to have natural health and beauty benefits. While here you can lather your skin with mineral-rich Dead Sea mud. Get a classic photo floating in the Dead Sea where the high saline content gives you natural buoyancy! After completely unwinding and feeling rejuvenated the tour comes to an end.
