Bethlehem, Jericho & Jordan River Tour from Tel Aviv
Our Bethlehem, Jericho, and Jordan River Tour, which visits three of the most fascinating locations in the area, is offered twice a week from Tel Aviv. We begin the day by getting a glimpse of the new Bethlehem as we pass by the well-known Banksy hotel for a quick photo stop (time permitting). Following that, you'll go to a neighborhood artisanal shop where there will be a presentation of indigenous Palestinian goods and a tea or coffee break. After a brief stroll through the alleys of the ancient city and a stop at the Milk Grotto, continue with a guided tour of the Church of the Nativity, the actual location of Jesus Christ's birth. After leaving Bethlehem, you will make your way to the lowest point on Earth, where you will eventually arrive at Jericho, which is thought to be the world's oldest city. Have a guided tour of the lovely Mount of Temptations monastery as you ascend the cable car to take in the breathtaking view of the green oasis. You can try the local dates, halva, and other treats by making a quick visit at the Gallery of Temptations. After that, proceed to the Qasr al-Yahud Baptismal Site, where it is said that Jesus was baptized. Everyone who wishes to experience the rich history and breathtaking scenery of the Holy Land must take our one-day tour of Bethlehem, Jericho, and the Jordan River!
