Overview
Your tour begins with pickup from the lobby of the Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv, where you’ll board an air-conditioned vehicle and travel through the Jerusalem Hills to your first stop—the Jordan River Baptismal Site (Yardenit).
The historic location and site upon which John the Baptist baptized Jesus, is one of the most significant Christian landmarks in the world. Then, continue to the ruins of the ancient Palestinian city of Jericho, reputedly established more than 9,000 years ago.
Admire the 6th-century Synagogue Mosiac-Floor and the ornate Hisham’s Palace before proceeding to Ramallah, the modern administrative center of Palestine. Wander the bustling streets of Ramallah, visiting the tomb of Yasser Arafat before arriving in Bethlehem, arguably the most significant Christian site in the world.
Visit the Church of the Nativity and the separation wall on which Palestinian people express political opinions through art. Your tour concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

The Best.... Love, love, loved this tour!
Cathy_B, Sept 2023
What an experience! A must do. Our guide was very knowledgeable and super funny, he took us to places that the locals would hang out, I ate the BEST falafel ever! This tour was jammed packed with eye opening landscape and tourist attractions but we walked the streets like locals. We ate a traditional lunch of chicken and rice in a hidden restaurant, which was included in the cost of the tour.

I didn’t know what this tour is going to cover so I also booked a Full-Day Bethlehem, Jericho, and Jordan River Tour on a previous day. It turned this West Bank tour cover all sights of previous day’s tour plus more. It covers West Bank neighborhoods, Ramallah, Palestinian street art, yasser arafat mausoleum besides church of nativity, Jericho and Jordan river. The guides are excellent.

One of the best tours ever! Go for it!! Palestine is great, so many historical and religious facts happened there like the birth of Jesus and the first ever church in Bethlehem! Also the oldest city in the world Jericho was amazing! They stop to Jordan river as well for some time to get your photos and videos. People are lovely and welcoming! Nice lunch included with healthy food in a beautiful restaurant that makes you feel like home. The tour ends with the graffiti wall which made me sad of how people can live trapped through walls and politics issues! Give Palestinians a chance, they worth it! This tour was so unique and just for a small group. I so recommend it and the Palestinian tour guide was excellent! Loved it!
