Bethlehem, Jericho & Wasr al-yahud Private Tour from Jerusalem
What your day looks like
Descend through the Judean desert to Jericho which is the oldest city in the world, passing the Inn of the Good Samaritan and the "Sea level marker". At Jericho, see the ancient tel, Mt. Temptation and the sycamore Zacchaeus climbed. In Bethlehem, we visit the Church of Nativity. Next we visit the Crusader Church of Saint Catherine and see the underground grotto where Saint Jerome painstakingly translated the Bible from Hebrew to Latin, creating the Vulgate. We make another stop in Bethlehem at the Shepherds Field where an Angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds on Christmas night to tell them of the imminent birth of the savior.
