After meet and assist at Taba border at 05:00 AM and driving
along the Arava highway to Jerusalem, We start our tour with a
panoramic view of the holy city, Jerusalem, from the Mount of
Olives. A leisurely walk takes us down, through the holy Jewish
cemetery, to the "Garden of Gethsemane" with its "Church
of all Nations" and ancient Olive trees, almost 2000 years
old! We continue to the "Wailing Wall", the last
remnants of the holy Jewish Temple, and, conditions permitting,
visit the Temple Mount itself, where we can see the Muslim Dome of
the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque. Then we walk through the colorful "Suq"
(Bazaar) and follow the different stations of the "Via
Dolorosa", the "Way of the Cross" according to
Christian tradition. The Way of the Cross ends at the "Church
of the Holy Sepulcre", built traditionally on the site where
Jesus was crucified and buried. In the afternoon we visit Mt. Zion
with King David's Tomb and the Place of the Last Supper. |

This day is dedicated to the New City of Jerusalem. We visit
the Model of Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period, located in the
Israel Museum. This is a 1:50 scale model of the city, as it was
during one of it's most important periods, when Judaism and
Christianity, as we know them today, started to evolve. The model
is built from the original materials, and is updated according to
the most recent archaeological researches. We also visit Yad
Vashem, the memorial of the holocaust, the famous "Menorah"
(Candelabre) located in front of the "Knesset"-Building,
housing Israel's Parliament, and the "Shrine of the Book",
where the "Dead Sea Scrolls" are exhibited. In the
afternoon we take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque
village Ein Karem, where according to local tradition John the
Baptist was born. |

We drive down to the Dead Sea, the deepest place on earth,
We walk through the Oasis of Ein Gedi, known since the days of
King David. Ein Gedi, where four springs with fresh water meet the
desert sun, is a place to enjoy the rich and unique flora and
fauna that such an oasis can offer. We walk to the waterfall and
back to the bus. We will not miss, of course, some floating (not
swimming!) on the Dead Sea, famous for its healing qualities. Than
we continue to climb (by cable-car…) the famous
cliff-fortress of Massada, where Herod the Great built a
magnificent palace in the middle of the desert. Massada was then
used as a fortress by the Jewish "Zealots" who fought,
few against many, against the pagan Roman Empire. Their heroic
struggle became a symbol for the modern State of Israel
