Short description of the tour

Visit Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Qasr al-Yahud and the Dead Sea on a day trip to Israel.

In Bethlehem we will visit the Basilica of the Nativity, one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, which was built over the birth cave. Here, at the birthplace of Jesus, the Star of Bethlehem is installed - a symbol of the birth of Jesus and a place of worship for Christians all over the world.

Pass by the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, built on the rock, where legend has it, a place of prayer for the cup the night before Jesus was arrested.

Next we will arrive at Qasr al-Yahud. This place is considered holy for Christian pilgrims along with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Church of the Nativity of Christ. This is the place where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist so that those who wish could immerse themselves in the holy waters of the Jordan.

Then we travel to the lowest point on earth. You will see one of the most unusual and unique bodies of water on our planet - the Dead Sea.

Of course, a tour through the old city of Jerusalem awaits you, where the last five stops of the Holy Cross - Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Golgotha and the chapel above the tomb of Jesus - Cuvuklia are located. We will also take a look at the Jewish Quarter and reach the Western Wall.
