Offered in: English

After meeting with your private guide you leave Jerusalem and exit Israel through on of the checkpoints to enter the city of Bethlehem where you will drive through the Old City neighborhoods before arriving at the main Manger Square. Here we meet a local Palestinian guide from Bethlehem who will join us in the Church of Nativity, the oldest church building in the Holy Land and the place of birth of Jesus. Just before going through the checkpoint again you stop at a high point for a view of the area.

This tour has a luxury van with driver, a private tour guide for the full day and a private local guide in Bethlehem to skip the line at the birthplace of Jesus (no guarantee, but so far it was 100%).

    After visiting Bethlehem we descend 1200 meters through the Judean desert to the lowest point on earth into the Jordan valley. On the way we pass the Greek Orthodox Monastery of Saint George, the Inn of Good Samaritan (now a museum of Mosaics) and the oldest city in the World: Jericho. A visit to one of these sites can be included in the itinerary. At the Dead Sea we will visit a private beach for a unique combination of wild desert nature, the sea and the famous black mud, where you have the opportunity to float.
