Make your way to the designated meeting point in Jerusalem to meet your guide and set out for Jerusalem's Old City.

Walk the Via Dolorosa and visit the Church of the Sepulchre, built on the legendary site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial. Explore some of Jerusalem’s colorful markets, and see the Byzantine Cardo, the remains of the old Roman road into the city. Pause by the Western Wall, an important site where pilgrims leave folded prayers between the stones.

Continue on to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ: tour the city and visit the Church of the Nativity, whose chapels represent four denominations of Christian faith.

The final stop of the day is a private beach on the edge of the Dead Sea, where you can slather yourself in mineral-rich mud, or simply float in the hyper-saline water.

Your tour concludes with return transfer to Jerusalem.

We were picked up by the appropriate bus and taken to Bethlehem, at some point we were transferred to a car to be driven to the Bethlehem church. Our guide was beyond great. There was a 2/3 hour wait ...
