Visitez la plus ancienne ville du monde, faites-vous baptiser dans le Jourdain et flottez dans la mer Morte, le tout en une journ\u00e9e. Cette excursion \u00e0 J\u00e9richo et \u00e0 la mer Morte, avec \u00e9tape au Jourdain, vous emm\u00e8ne sous le niveau de la mer, dans le spectaculaire d\u00e9sert de Jud\u00e9e, sur des sites bibliques que la plupart des touristes ne voient jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L'excursion J\u00e9richo, mer Morte et Jourdain quitte J\u00e9rusalem et traverse les collines de Jud\u00e9e.

J.-C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Montez en t\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique jusqu'au mont de la Tentation<\/a> o\u00f9 le diable a tent\u00e9 J\u00e9sus pendant ses 40 jours dans le d\u00e9sert. Un monast\u00e8re grec-orthodoxe s'accroche de fa\u00e7on incroyable \u00e0 la falaise, et la vue panoramique depuis le sommet s'\u00e9tend sur toute la vall\u00e9e du Jourdain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poursuivez jusqu'\u00e0 Qasr al-Yahud<\/a>, site du bapt\u00eame sur le Jourdain o\u00f9 Jean a baptis\u00e9 J\u00e9sus. Aujourd'hui encore, les visiteurs peuvent s'y faire baptiser, comme des milliers de p\u00e8lerins chaque ann\u00e9e. La journ\u00e9e se termine par un moment de d\u00e9tente sur une plage de la mer Morte, o\u00f9 vous flottez dans une eau riche en min\u00e9raux et appliquez de la boue naturelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cette excursion J\u00e9richo, mer Morte et Jourdain est une excursion saisonni\u00e8re, d'octobre \u00e0 mai uniquement<\/strong> (en \u00e9t\u00e9, les temp\u00e9ratures dans la vall\u00e9e du Jourdain d\u00e9passent 45 \u00b0C).

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":"Puis-je vraiment me faire baptiser dans le Jourdain pendant cette excursion ?","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":"Pourquoi l'excursion J\u00e9richo, mer Morte et Jourdain n'a-t-elle lieu que d'octobre \u00e0 mai ?","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.
