Visita la ciudad m\u00e1s antigua del mundo, baut\u00edzate en el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n y flota en el mar Muerto, todo en un d\u00eda. Esta excursi\u00f3n a Jeric\u00f3 y el mar Muerto, con parada en el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n, te lleva por debajo del nivel del mar hasta el impresionante desierto de Judea para conocer lugares b\u00edblicos que la mayor\u00eda de los turistas nunca visita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La excursi\u00f3n a Jeric\u00f3, el mar Muerto y el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n sale de Jerusal\u00e9n, desciende por las colinas de Judea, pasa por la Posada del Buen Samaritano y se detiene en el cartel del nivel del mar antes de bajar al lugar habitado m\u00e1s bajo de la Tierra. En Jeric\u00f3 ver\u00e1s el sicomoro al que se subi\u00f3 Zaqueo para ver a Jes\u00fas y visitar\u00e1s Elisha’s Spring<\/a> que abasteci\u00f3 a la ciudad durante milenios. Tambi\u00e9n explorar\u00e1s Tel Jeric\u00f3, donde se han excavado 23 capas de civilizaci\u00f3n que se remontan al 9000 a. C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sube en telef\u00e9rico al monte de la Tentaci\u00f3n<\/a> donde el diablo intent\u00f3 tentar a Jes\u00fas durante sus 40 d\u00edas en el desierto. Un monasterio ortodoxo griego se aferra de forma casi imposible a la pared del acantilado, y las vistas panor\u00e1micas desde la cima abarcan todo el valle del Jord\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contin\u00faa hacia Qasr al-Yahud<\/a>, el lugar del bautismo en el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n donde Juan bautiz\u00f3 a Jes\u00fas. Hoy los visitantes pueden bautizarse aqu\u00ed, igual que miles de peregrinos cada a\u00f1o. El d\u00eda termina con tiempo de relax en una playa del mar Muerto, donde flotar\u00e1s en aguas ricas en minerales y te aplicar\u00e1s barro natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esta excursi\u00f3n a Jeric\u00f3, el mar Muerto y el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n es una excursi\u00f3n de temporada que solo opera de octubre a mayo<\/strong> (en verano, las temperaturas en el valle del Jord\u00e1n superan los 45 \u00b0C). Se realiza solo los jueves<\/strong> con recogida en el hotel en Tel Aviv o Jerusal\u00e9n. Se necesita pasaporte (la excursi\u00f3n entra en Cisjordania).<\/p>\n The bus pauses at the famous sign marking sea level (0 meters). From here, you look out across the vast desert landscape stretching toward Jericho and the Jordan Valley. Take photos at the sign before continuing to descend further below sea level.<\/p>","image":"","gallery_image":"","loacation":"","altitude":"","valuetype":"Meter","loacation-latitude":"31.829659372498323","loacation-longitude":"35.409707992329096"},"4":{"time":"08:50 AM","title":"Llegada a Jeric\u00f3: el sicomoro","duration":"15","timetype":"Minute","desc":" The Jericho Dead Sea Jordan River tour arrives in the ancient city of Jericho.

Most day tours cover either Jericho OR the Dead Sea, but not all three in depth. This tour is ideal for travelers who want biblical history, a spiritual experience, and natural relaxation in a single day.<\/p>"},"2":{"title":"\u00bfPuedo bautizarme en el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n en esta excursi\u00f3n?","desc":" Yes. Qasr el Yahud is an active baptismal site where thousands of pilgrims are baptized each year. If you wish to be baptized, bring a white garment (traditional for baptism) or rent one on-site. Changing rooms are available. The baptism is self-arranged or with your own clergy. Your guide allows sufficient time (approximately 40 minutes) at the site.<\/p>"},"3":{"title":"\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 esta excursi\u00f3n a Jeric\u00f3, el mar Muerto y el r\u00edo Jord\u00e1n solo se realiza de octubre a mayo?","desc":" Summer temperatures in the Jordan Valley and Jericho area regularly exceed 45C (113F), making outdoor touring unsafe and uncomfortable. The Dead Sea region is even hotter. The tour operates from October through May when daytime temperatures are manageable (20-35C). During summer months (June-September), consider our Dead Sea Relaxation Tour<\/a> which visits a beach with shade, or our Masada and Dead Sea tour<\/a> which starts early to avoid midday heat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Yes. Jericho is located in the West Bank (Palestinian Authority Area A). You must carry a valid passport when crossing the checkpoint. All nationalities are permitted to visit Jericho on a guided tour. The checkpoint process is straightforward and your guide handles the logistics, but you must have your physical passport with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n No. The Mount of Temptation cable car costs approximately 60 NIS per person (approximately $20 USD or 17 EUR), paid in cash on the day. Your guide collects the money on the bus and purchases skip-the-line group tickets. Bring cash in NIS, USD, or EUR. The cable car ride is optional. If you prefer not to ride, you can view the monastery from below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Tour price ($85 from Jerusalem, $93 from Tel Aviv<\/a>) includes hotel pickup and drop-off, air-conditioned bus, licensed English-speaking guide, guided tour of Jericho (sycamore tree, Elisha's Spring, Tel Jericho), entrance to Qasr el Yahud, entrance to a Dead Sea beach with showers and changing rooms, and Dead Sea mud access. NOT included: cable car (60 NIS), lunch, baptism robe rental, towel, tips, personal insurance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Moderate. The Jericho walking portion is relatively flat (30-40 minutes total walking). The cable car handles the ascent to Mount of Temptation, though there are stairs at the top and inside the monastery. The Dead Sea portion requires minimal effort (walking to the beach, floating). Total walking: approximately 3-4 km over the day, mostly flat. The main challenge is the heat, so bring water, sun protection, and dress in light layers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Valid passport (required for West Bank checkpoint), cash for cable car (60 NIS or $20 USD), comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, SPF 30+, sunglasses), refillable water bottle (1.5L+ recommended), swimsuit for Dead Sea (wear under clothes), towel (or rent at beach), white garment if you plan to be baptized, camera, modest clothing for Qasr el Yahud, cash for lunch (50-80 NIS).<\/p>\r\n\r\n Thursdays only, October through May.<\/strong> The tour does not operate June through September due to extreme heat. Book in advance as this is a once-per-week departure with limited seasonal availability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Children of all ages are welcome. The cable car is exciting for kids. Floating in the Dead Sea is fun (children who can follow instructions about not splashing or touching eyes). The sycamore tree story and the Battle of Jericho are engaging for children familiar with Bible stories. The tour involves moderate walking on flat terrain. Strollers are not practical at Tel Jericho or the monastery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Approximately 2 hours. This is less than our dedicated Dead Sea Relaxation Tour<\/a> (4-5 hours) but still enough for floating, mud treatment, and relaxation. If a full day at the Dead Sea is your priority, book the relaxation tour instead. This Jericho Dead Sea Jordan River tour balances biblical history with Dead Sea time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Free cancellation if you let us know at least 36 hours before the tour start time. If you cancel the day before the tour, a 25% cancellation fee applies. Cancellations on the day of the tour, and no-shows, are charged 100%.<\/p> To cancel or change your date, message us on WhatsApp at +972 8-633-8361 or email sales@booking-tours.com<\/a>. If we cancel or materially change the tour, you can choose another date, a credit or a full refund.
