3-Day Private Tour of Jerusalem & Dead Sea

Day 1 – Sacred Jerusalem and the Old City

The day begins on Mount Zion, where you will visit the Room of the Last Supper, recalling the final meal of Jesus with his disciples. Beneath it, you will also reach the Mark of King David’s Tomb, a place of Jewish devotion for centuries.

From here the guide will lead you into the Jewish Quarter, known for it narrow lanes filled with layers of history. At the center stands the Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Temple and the most sacred place where Jews pray today.

The afternoon follows the Via Dolorosa, the path Jesus carried the cross, leading to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where many Christians believe the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection took place.

The day concludes with a panoramic view from the Mount of Olives, where the Dome of the Rock and the Old City’s wall spread before you in a timeless scene.

Day 2 – The Living City and its Treasures

Start the day at the Temple Mount, one of the most revered and sensitive religious sites in the world. Once home to the Jewish Temples, today it is crowned by the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque, making it central to Judeo-Christian and Muslim traditions.

Next, explore the City of David, where Jerusalem began over three thousand years ago. You will see archaeological remains linked to the time of King David, descend into the water systems, and reach the Pool of Siloam, where pilgrims in Jesus’ time immersed before reaching the Temple.

The afternoon continues with the bustling energy of Mahane Yehuda Market, a place filled with colorful stalls, local flavors, and vibrant life. Conclude the day either at the Israel Museum, with the Dead Sea Scrolls and vast archaeology collection, or at Yad Vashem, the moving memorial to the Holocaust.

Day 3 – The Dead Sea and the Judean Desert

Your day begins with a drive into the Judean Desert, reaching the Baptism Site on the Jordan River, where Christian tradition recalls the baptism of Jesus. Nearby lies Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden by a Jewish sect 2,000  years ago and discovered in caves in the mid-20^th century.

Continue to Ein Gedi, a desert oasis with springs and lush vegetation, remembered in the Bible as the place where David hid from King Saul. Reach Masada, the mountain fortress built by King Herod and later the site of the dramatic last stand of Jewish rebels against Rome. The cable car ride offers sweeping desert views, while the ruins tell a dramatic story of defiance and tragedy.

The tour concludes with time to enjoy the world-famous Dead Sea experience. Floating effortlessly in its dense, mineral-rich waters is both relaxing and unforgettable. You can cover your skin with the dark natural mud, known since antiquity for its healing properties, and feel its soothing effect.
