Jerusalem, Bethlehem & Dead Sea Tour from Sharm El Sheikh

Experience an unforgettable journey from Sharm El Sheikh to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Dead Sea—three of the Middle East's most remarkable destinations. Discover sacred religious landmarks, explore one of the world's oldest cities, and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea on this full-day guided excursion.

Discover the Holy City of Jerusalem

Your adventure begins after crossing the border into Israel, where you'll travel through breathtaking desert landscapes toward Jerusalem, one of the world's oldest and holiest cities. Revered by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Jerusalem offers an extraordinary blend of history, culture, and spirituality.

Your first stop is the Mount of Olives, where you'll enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the Old City—an ideal introduction to Jerusalem's fascinating past.

Continue into the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, where your guided walking tour includes:

• The Western Wall (Wailing Wall), Judaism's holiest prayer site.
• The lively Arab Market (Souk), filled with traditional shops and local culture.
• The Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross), following the traditional path Jesus walked to His crucifixion.
• The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of Christianity's most sacred pilgrimage sites, believed to be the location of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

During your drive through modern Jerusalem, you'll also pass the Knesset, home of Israel's Parliament.

Float in the Dead Sea

Travel through the stunning Arava Valley toward the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth at more than 430 meters (1,410 feet) below sea level.

Enjoy approximately 1 to 1.5 hours at the Dead Sea, where you'll experience the unforgettable sensation of effortlessly floating in its exceptionally salty, mineral-rich waters. The unique minerals are renowned for their skin-care benefits, and you'll have time to shop for famous Dead Sea products, including natural mud, bath salts, lotions, creams, and facial masks.

Scenic Journey Through the Judean Desert

As you travel between the Dead Sea and Jerusalem, admire the dramatic landscapes of the Judean Desert. Along the way you'll see:

• Qumran, where the famous Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.
• The ancient city of Jericho, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
• Traditional Bedouin camps scattered across the desert landscape.

Visit Bethlehem
