Bethlehem & Jericho Day Trip
Description
Visit some of the most fascinating Biblical sites on this trip to Bethlehem, the birth city of Jesus, and Jericho, the oldest city in the world.
Bethlehem & Jericho Day Trip
After picking you up from the Hotel David Citadel in Jerusalem at the designated time, we'll start our journey to Jericho, considered the oldest city in the world.
We'll cross the Judean desert, passing by the Inn of the Good Samaritan. Here, we'll encounter the sycamore tree from which Zacchaeus witnessed Christ passing through the city. As we explore the town walls, we'll hear about the time when Josué marched with his troops through Jericho until they fell.
From Jericho, we head to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. Here, we'll visit Manger Square, which is home to the Basilica of the Nativity and the grotto described in the Bible as the birthplace of Jesus. Before leaving Bethlehem, we'll climb up to Shepherd's Field, where the shepherds set off to honour the nativity of Jesus.
In Bethlehem, we'll also visit the church of Santa Catalina and its caves, where we can see the surprising tombs and sanctuaries. Before departing Bethlehem, we'll go up to the Field of the Shepherds, the site from which they left for the Bethlehem portal to honour Jesus.
After exploring the essential places in Bethlehem and Jericho, we'll return to Jerusalem and drop you off at the David Citadel Hotel after 10 hours.
