After breakfast, we will drive to Qumran, the settlement of the Essenes. They were the first century sect who authored the Dead Sea Scrolls. From here we will head to Ein Gedi where David hid from King Saul. We will then go south along the western shore of the Dead Sea toward Masada where we will travel by cable car up to King Herod’s astonishing fortress. Afterwards, we will make a special stop at the Dead Sea (the lowest spot on earth) for a short swim or float. Time and conditions permitting, we will include a visit to Qasr El-Yahud, the newly excavated site where traditionholds that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. If possible, we will also include a short visit to Jericho. Dinner and overnight will again be in Jerusalem.
