Description
Enjoy a guided tour of Jerusalem, the holy city, and its iconic neighbourhoods, and reap the benefits offered by the Dead Sea!
Departing from your hotel in the early morning and accompanied by your guide, head to the Mount of Olives by bus to gaze out at the city of Jerusalem. Enjoy the view of the city and its many monuments.
Next, cross the city walls into the Old City through the Zion Gate to explore the Armenian quarter. Your walk will lead you to the Byzantine Cardo, one of the most iconic streets in the city. Continue your stroll towards the Wailing Wall, a holy site for the Jewish religion. You'll have free time for lunch at a local restaurant in the Old City.
Your guided tour will take you along the Via Dolorosa, or Way of Suffering, where Jesus bore the weight of the cross he carried on his back. You'll arrive at the cavernous Church of the Holy Sepulchre, home to the tomb of Jesus and its liturgical ornaments. Finally, peruse the Christian and Muslim markets before leaving Jerusalem for the Dead Sea.
Cross through the Judean Desert and end your day exploring the Dead Sea, one of the lowest points on earth. Take a dip in the salty water and reap the benefits of the mineral-rich mud.
At the end of a rather emotional day, you'll be transported back to your hotel.

Guide intéressant mais rapide Changement de 3 bus et de groupe au cours de la journée avec non plus un guide en français mais en anglais puis en espagnol... Nous n'avons pas été sur le mont des oliviers. Le programme était incomplet, nous n'avons donc pas eu une visite de 12 heures comme indiquée...STEPHANIE A.Sep 20, 2023
