We pass the Garden of Gethsemane and drive through the Kidron Valley passed several ancient Jewish tombs on our way down the mountain. We enter the Old City Armenian Quarter and head towards the restored Cardo, once a busy Byzantine thoroughfare. In the Jewish Quarter, we visit the Wailing Wall and see the world's holiest Jewish site. 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 Holy Sepulchre Church, 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. 

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 the black Dead Sea mud.
