From the top of the Mount of Olives we get a panoramic view of the Old City which we will later explore, we can see the Dome of the Rock and the many roof tops, steeples and minarets of the city. On our way down the mountain we pass the Garden of Gethsemane and drive through the Kidron Valley passed several ancient Jewish tombs. We enter the Armenian Quarter of the Old City and head towards the restored Cardo, once a busy Byzantine thoroughfare. In the Jewish Quarter we visit the Wailing Wall and see the holiest Jewish site in the world. Following the Via Dolorosa along the route Jesus took to his crucifixion at Golgotha we pass the Stations of the Cross. The Via Dolorosa leads us to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the holiest Christian site in the Old City. Our tour of the Old City ends with a visit to the Christian and Muslim Quarter markets then we drive south through the Judean Desert. On our way we pass the city of Jericho and arrive at the Dead Sea where we can swim, relax and benefit from the rejuvenating natural minerals in the water, air and black Dead Sea mud.
