Overview
After pick up from meeting points in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, you will start your guided tour in Bethlehem at 08:30 AM (more or less) where you will spend around 20 minutes viewing the Bansky Art on the "Wall" that separates Israel from Bethlehem. Then, you will have a guided tour in the in the Manger Square and the Nativity Church (the holy place where Jesus Christ was born). If it is not crowded, you will be visiting the Chapel of the Milk Grotto (most of times it is not easy to get into the Grotto which means that we have to make an overview, in order to save time for your next station, as entering the Grotto may take long time waiting.
Also, you will enjoy visiting one of the best "Olive Wood" Factories to see how olive wood is manufactured; too many families in this city depend on this industry for living. Then you will visit the Chapel of the Shepherd's Field in Beit Sahour City, the place where angels first announced the birth of Christ.
Finally, you will move to the last station in Bethlehem which is the Souvenir Shop, and continue through the Judean Desert to Jericho the oldest City in the World dating back 11,000 years. On the way to Jericho you will stop at the Sea Level for few minutes to have some photos for memory.
Arriving Jericho, you will have 30 minutes break then you will be visiting the most important Biblical sites such as Mount of Temptation Sight, Sycamore Tree and Elisha Spring; Finally, you will have some free time before returning to the 1st meeting point.
