Here’s Palestine

The city is filled with history and culture. It also has an interesting fabric that is divided into east and west. That’s why we have dedicated two days for it. Here’s our plan for the first day.

• Local energizing breakfast after which we pick you up from the hotel between 08:30 – 09:00 AM
• Dome of the Rock & Al Aqsa Mosque: We’ll enter the Temple Mount through Mughrabi gate. Inside many exciting and holy buildings await. We’ll spend the morning exploring them. Also, we’ll be able to get a view of the Western Wall.
• Via Dolorosa & the Church of the Holy Sepulcher: This will be your chance to walk on the same path that Jesus walked to the site of his crucifixion and resurrection, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
• Lunch: Everyone loves Jerusalem’s Hummus and Falafel. And you’ll get to try them.
• The Four Quarter of the Old City: Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Armenian. Four different cultures, culinary delights and atmospheres. All in one old city. All in one afternoon.
• Old Market: The market is full of colors, fresh produce, handcrafts and traditional vibes. Strolling and shopping inside is an amazing experience and you can spend your afternoon doing that.
• Traditional Dinner at the hotel and Overnight.

There’s plenty planned for your second day in Jerusalem. The city is a great blend of history, culture and foreign influences. And we’ll make sure you experience it all.

• Mount of Olives: We’ll start the day with a panoramic view of East and West Jerusalem. As we descend from the Mount of Olives we’ll stop at various holy and historical sites including the Church of all Nations, the Tomb of Virgin Mary and Dominus Flevit, a beautiful church hidden on the slope.
• Lunch: Local, delicious and at one of Jerusalem’s finest.
• Rockefeller Archaeological Museum: The museum is a great opportunity to explore Palestinian life, culture and history.
• Mount Zion: The best place to be at sunset is on top of Mount Zion, where we can visit the last supper room and go on the balcony of St.Petrus Callicantu Church. There you’ll find a powerful atmosphere and unbeatable views.
• A 10 Km drive to Bethlehem for a traditional dinner & overnight

The city where Jesus was born has plenty to offer. Therefore, we intend to let you make the most out of your day in it. Here’s what’s on the agenda:

• Walk in Battir: The Unesco World Heritage Site is a series of scenic agricultural valleys with stone terraces. It’s a wonderful place for a short, 2 hour, morning walk and a great chance to learn about Palestine’s agriculture.
• Pools of Solomon: The little gem of pine-hidden pools never fails to amaze.
• Lunch: It will be one of the culinary delights of Bethlehem.
• Separation Wall: It is the contested eight meter high barrier that is plastered with murals and graffiti.
• Church of Nativity: We definitely can’t let you come to Bethlehem without seeing the sites where Jesus was born. It’s a spiritual wonder.
• Shepherds Field: These are the ancient caves where the shepherds kept watch over their flock, and where the birth of Jesus is believed to have been announced.
• Dinner: What better way to end the day than with an authentic Arabic dinner.
• Overnight in Bethlehem

You’ll finally visit the oldest inhabited city in the world. There’s much to do and see, from visiting historical sites to dipping in the Dead Sea. And you’ll have to the chance to do it all.

• Ride from Bethlehem to Jericho: The ride is about 30 Km. Along the way, you’ll be able to see spectacular desert views.
• Makam AL Nabi Mousa: We’ll stop on the way to visit this historic site which is believed to be the shrine of Prophet Moses. It is compromised of a beautiful colorful mosque with a towering minaret that overlooks the impressive Jordan Valley.
• Monastery of Temptation & Wadi Qelt: There you’ll find two of the best views ever. First is the Monastery where Jesus spent 40 days fasting and meditating. Second is Palestine’s finest natural reserve, Wadi al Qelt. This would be a great chance to get a glimpse of Palestinian history and nature.
• Hisham’s Palace: The mosaic paved Omayyad Palace is famous for its unique Architecture and the ‘tree of life mosaic’. A must-visit when in Jericho.
• Lunch: A Traditional Palestinian meal.
• Qumran: Our historic journey continues to the site where the Dead Sea scrolls where found.
• Dead Sea: Finally, you’ll get to swim in the deepest salt lake in the world and use its famous minerals and mud for skin exfoliation and natural healing. Can you think of a better way for ending the day?
• Evening Ride from Jericho to Nablus: The ride is about 44 Km after which you can have authentic Palestinian dinner and overnight.

Known for being the ultimate destination for the Arabic sweet, ‘Kunafeh’, Nablus can offer so much more than food. Here’s our plan for showing you around this commercial and cultural center.

• Sebastia: The archeological site is a tremendous treat for the lovers of the old. We’ll take a 15 km ride and reach the site that dates back to as far as 10,000 years! It’s a wonderful place to start the day.
• Jacob’s Well: This is a deep rock-hewn well, where Jesus asked a Samaritan for a drink and offered her ‘living water’. It’s an Architectural masterpiece that lies in the crypt of a Greek church.
• Lunch: You can freshen up as we treat you with a satisfying local lunch.
• Old City of Nablus: Historic streets, local vendors and a wide variety of local handcrafts and produce. It’s the place for cheap-buys and for unique souvenirs.
• Kunafeh: Before we leave the old city, you’ll get to try Kunafeh, the Palestinian sweet Nablus is renowned for. It’s delicious.
• Mount Gerizim: It’s one of the highest peaks in the West Bank and the place where Samaritans have been dwelling for thousands of years. They have a remarkable lifestyle and you shouldn’t miss it. You’ll also get to learn all about it in the Samaritan Museum.
