Day 1: Masada - Ein Gedi - Dead Sea
After meet and assist at Arava border, we drive to the Dead Sea and climb (by cable-car) the famous cliff-fortress of Masada, where Herod the Great built a magnificent palace in the middle of the desert. We walk through the oasis of Ein Gedi, known since the days of King David. Ein Gedi, where four springs with fresh water meet the desert sun, is a place to enjoy the rich and unique flora and fauna. We will not miss some floating on the Dead Sea, famous for its healing qualities. Overnight in Jerusalem.

Day 2: Jaffa - Caesarea Maritima
We drive to the old city of Jaffa, one of the ancient gateways to the Holy Land. It was in Jaffa where Christianity began to be spread among the nations. We drive to Caesarea Maritima, the magnificent port-city built by King Herod the Great. From here St. Peter went to Rome and started with his first miracles. In Caesarea's well-preserved theater an inscription of the procurator Pontius Pilate was found. Overnight in Jerusalem.

Day 3: Jerusalem
The tour starts with a panoramic view of the holy city Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. A leisurely walk takes us down, through the holy Jewish cemetery, to the "Garden of Gethsemane" with its "Church of all Nations" and ancient Olive trees, almost 2000 years old! We continue to the Wailing Wall and, conditions permitting, visit the Temple Mount itself, where we can see the Muslim Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque. Then we follow the different stations of the "Via Dolorosa", the "Way of the Cross" ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In the afternoon we visit Mt. Zion with King David's Tomb and the place of the Last Supper. At evening back to Arava border.
