What to expect

Our Jerusalem tour begins at the Mount of Olives, offering a panoramic view of the Old City, including iconic sites like the Dome of the Rock. As we descend, we pass the Garden of Gethsemane and several ancient Jewish burial tombs. Entering through the Zion Gate, we explore the Armenian Quarter and walk along the restored Byzantine Cardo, now lined with modern shops.

We visit the Western Wall, the last remaining part of the Second Temple, where Jews gather to pray. Next, we follow the Via Dolorosa, tracing Jesus' path to crucifixion through 14 Stations of the Cross. The journey ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site of Jesus' crucifixion and housing five of the Stations.

Before leaving the Old City, we pass through the Christian and Muslim Quarter markets, offering souvenirs and local delicacies. Our journey then takes us south towards the Judean Desert, passing Biblical Jericho en route to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth at about 400 meters below sea level.

The Dead Sea, 9.6 times saltier than the ocean, provides a unique swimming experience where you can easily float. Visitors can also enjoy a natural spa treatment by covering themselves with the renowned black Dead Sea mud before returning to the water for a truly memorable experience.
