HIGHLIGHTS

- Visit the Mount of Olives and go to the birthplace of Jesus
- Drive through the Judean Mountains to the Dead Sea to float in the mineral rich waters
We will pick you up at 20:00pm from your hotel. The transfer to Taba border in a air-conditioned bus will take about 3 hours.
We will start from Eilat and drive along the Arava Valley towards the Dead Sea. It's the deepest point on earth and is more than 400 meters below sea level. Here we will enjoy the marvelous experience of floating (not swimming) in its unique water, which contains an unusual amount of healthy minerals. Also, we'll have the chance to shop and explore the Dead Sea's natural beauty products such as salts, mud, lotions and facial masks.
Next, we will ascend to the Holy City, Jerusalem. On the way to Jerusalem we will see the Qumran Site, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found, the Judean Valle and Jericho. Along the road through the Judean Desert we can see some nomadic Bedouin tribes. After reaching Jerusalem we'll have a panoramic view from the Mount of Olives, which is a good place for an introduction to the city and its history.
We'll drive to the city of Bethlehem where we will visit the Church of Nativity, the central pilgrimage destination for all Christians because Jesus Christ was born there. In Bethlehem, we can go shopping in souvenir shops and enjoy a Middle Eastern meal with a free drink.
Then we will head back to Jerusalem and see the Wailing Wall, which represents the last remnants of the Jewish Temple and continue through the "Way of Suffering" “Via Del Arosa” which leads us to The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where according to Christian tradition Jesus was crucified and buried.
Then transfer back to the Taba Border and then back to Egypt.
