The Experience

You start from your hotel and drive to Mount Scopus for a panoramic view of the Old City before entering its quarters. The guide leads you through the Jewish Quarter and its Byzantine Cardo, past the Western Wall, then into the Christian Quarter where you walk the Via Dolorosa—the fourteen stations of the Cross—and reach the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Between these, you pass through the Kidron Valley and spend time in the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations. The Muslim Quarter and its bazaar round out the morning in the Old City itself.

After the Old City, the tour descends to the Dead Sea, where you float in water so mineral-dense that your body stays on the surface without effort. Bring a bathing suit, towel and sun protection; the mineral content stings if it reaches your eyes. This is the lowest point on Earth and the most saline body of water outside the Red Sea, so the float itself is the main event—no swimming required, just the physics of it.

Your guide speaks English, Spanish, French or German depending on which option you book at checkout. The vehicle is air-conditioned, hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and all entrance fees to the sites are paid upfront, so you move through the day without stopping at ticket windows. Comfortable walking shoes are essential; the Old City's streets are stone and uneven, and you'll cover a reasonable distance on foot across the ten hours.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you're visiting Jerusalem for the first time or have only a day to see the major holy sites—the guide's knowledge of the Old City's layout and history means you cover ten significant stops without getting lost in the maze of streets. The Dead Sea float at the end gives you a completely different experience in the same day, so you're not choosing between the two.
