Start your private to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea at the top of the Mount of Olives, home to a large Jewish cemetery with panoramic views across Jerusalem.

From there, walk to the Gardens of Gethsemane and see the place where Jesus was arrested.

Pass through the Kidron Valley and enter the Old City through the Zion Gate on foot. 

Stroll through the Armenian Quarter and see the beautiful and brightly coloured tiles that decorate the quarter.

Continue to the Jewish Quarter and pass through the Byzantine Cardo, once the main shopping street of Jerusalem.

Travel to the Kotel or Western Walk, the last remaining outer wall of the Second Temple built by Herod and the most sacred site in Judaism today, taking a moment to soak in the atmosphere.

Move to the Christian quarter following the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the site of Jesus’s crucifixion and where his tomb is located. 

Before leaving Jerusalem, enjoy a wander through the Old City market. Then leave Jerusalem to drive South through the Judean Desert to the lowest point on earth.

Stop for a photo at the sign showing you are passing below sea level. In the distance, you will be able to see the ancient city of Jericho and the Jordanian mountains.

Reach the Dead Sea and take the opportunity to float in the saline rich waters. The mineral-rich waters, high oxygen levels in the air, and the diminished UV rays in the region are said to have therapeutic benefits.

Cover your bodies and face in the special muds and relax on the beach before returning to your hotel rested and rejuvenated.
