Jeep tour to the Judean desert


Entering the Judean Desert, passing through Bedouin tent, see how they live, were do they get fresh water? Feel as if we returned to the days of Abraham.

Following the stories of the bible, the route leads us to Jabel Muntar (the keeper), also called “azazel”, the place where the High Priest threw the scapegoat over the cliff on the Day of Atonement.

After a spectacular observation over the Judea desert we will take the route to Wadi Kidron, where we will see the Mar Saba monastery hanging from the cliff. The next stop is by the Fortress of Hyrkania, where John Hyrkanus and his sons defended Jerusalem from the east. Descending through Hyrkania Valley to the Dead Sea area.

Visit “Qasr Al-Yahud” which according to tradition, it is the place where the Israelites crossed over the Jordan River and Elijah the Prophet ascended to heaven.
