Discover the Treasures of Jericho & the Jordan River Tour Itinerary
Jericho and Beyond:
Tour starts from Bethlehem around 1:00 PM
🌍 Sea Level Stop – 5 mins
A simple sign on the roadside — but you’re standing at sea level, right between desert hills and endless sky. A small pause before we dive into the stories ahead.
⛪ Saint Gerasimous Monastery – 15 mins
Hidden in the quiet of the Jordan Valley, this peaceful monastery feels frozen in time. You’ll hear birds, feel the dry wind, and sense the faith of those who lived here long ago.
🌊 Jordan River – 30 mins
This stop often leaves people speechless. It’s not grand — it’s still, humble. But this is where Jesus was baptized. Many visitors say it’s the moment they’ll never forget.
🏛️ Hisham’s Palace – 30 mins
Walk through cracked stone walls and broken arches that once belonged to royalty. You’ll see a 1300-year-old mosaic that somehow still survives — quiet, powerful, and breathtaking.
🏙️ Old City of Jericho – 30 mins
Dusty streets, ancient stones, echoes of stories from thousands of years ago. Jericho is one of the world’s oldest cities — and it still feels alive.
🌳 The Sycamore Tree – 5 mins
Yes, the one from the Zacchaeus story. Still here. Still growing. It’s a small stop, but something about it makes people smile.
💧 Elisha’s Spring – 5 mins
We finish at a natural spring that’s been flowing since biblical times. Cool, clean water in the middle of the desert — a quiet way to end the day.
