Jerusalem Old City and Dead Sea Experience

  • Start your private tour 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 Zion Gate on foot.

  • Stroll through the Armenian Quarter and see the beautiful, 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 Wall, 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 Sepulchre, 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 and drive south through the Judean Desert to the lowest point on Earth.

  • Stop for a photo at the sign showing that 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 body and face in the special mud and relax on the beach before returning to your hotel rested and rejuvenated.
