Description of Jerusalem day trip bus/plane
The tour to Jerusalem is an early start so it is advisable to order a breakfast box from your hotel reception the night before. After the lengthy process of crossing the border to Israel your first stop after driving through the Arava Valley and Negev Desert en route to Jerusalem is one of the worlds most famous phenomenon, the Dead Sea. Aptly named as the salt content is so high that nothing can live in it. Most people visit the dead sea out of curiosity but there is a thriving industry on the health benefits of dead sea
Floating on the sea is not just fun, it relaxes the body and does the skin and the joints a world of good. The therapeutic black mud, found exclusively on the shores of the Dead Sea, does wonders for everyone's complexion. It is about an hours drive away from the Dead Sea to Jerusalem where your 1st stop is at the Mount Olives where you can take photo’s of the breathtaking view of the Old City and City of David. Past the garden of Gethsemane and the Kidron Valley to the old city where you will visit the West Wall (Wailing Wall)
After your visit to the Wailing wall, you are taken along the final path of Jesus to Church of the Holy Sepulchre passing the Stations of the cross marked en route.
