Old City of Jerusalem

Day 1: Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Bethlehem Start the day with a pickup from your hotel in Tel Aviv. Take a panoramic tour of Jerusalem, visiting the Church of All Nations, the Mount of Olives, and the Old City. Enter the Jewish Quarter to arrive at the Western Wall. This is the supporting wall from the second Temple that was built by King Herod. Walk to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre from walking along the Via Dolorosa, following the Stations of the Cross, where many pilgrims have traveled. Before departing for Bethlehem, take a walk through the Old City markets. Arriving in Bethlehem, you'll stroll across Manger Square to arrive at the Church of Nativity, where the original church was built in the 4th century. Departing Bethlehem you can see the Field of Ruth in the distance. Back to your hotel for overnight.

The Masada Museum

Masada – The Dead Sea - Tel Aviv After breakfast at your hotel in the morning, you'll start the day by driving through the Judean Desert. Travel by the Inn of the Good Samaritan to stop for a few minutes at the sea level marker. Continue the drive to Masada. Arriving at Masada, you'll ascend to the mountaintop fortress in a cable car. Tour the well-preserved bath house, the two palaces that King Herod built for himself, Roman barracks, and much more. During the journey to the Dead Sea, pass Ein Gedi and Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. At last, arriving at the Dead Sea, enjoy a nice soothing swim in the salty Dead Sea waters. After the swim, you'll head back to Tel Aviv.
