It was quite a long day but so interesting ! I definitely recommend it. First, you go to Bethlehem and meet a local guide who is not Jewish. And back to Jerusalem to pick the guide for the rest of the day. Then you go to the desert of Judea along the Jordan river where Jesus was baptized and then Jericho.

Eine unvergessliche Tour!!! Toller Guide, der mit vielen Hintergrundinfos begleitet hat aber auch Zeit zum Verweilen ließ. Das gemeinsame Essen war preislich für israelische Verhältnisse wirklich ok und sehr lecker! Die Hitze (38 Grad!) war das einzig negative - aber so ist das im Juli :-) Dafür war der Bus super klimatisiert und man musste auch nicht so viel laufen wie z.B. bei einer Tour durch Jerusalem. Die Landschaft war atemberaubend, man sieht sehr viel auf der Tour! Der Jordan und der Berg der Versuchung, zu dem man mit einer Seilbahn fährt (mit einem unglaublichen Ausblick!!), waren meine persönlichen Hilights! Es gibt nicht genug Sterne zu verteilen für diesen unvergesslichen Tag!

Die Höhlen von Qumram haben wir nicht gesehen, angeboten wurde lediglich ein Film darüber, teurer Eintritt. In Bethlehem lotste uns der Führer in einen Souvenirladen, ca eine halbe Stunde lang mussten wir uns dort aufhalten. In der Geburtskirche wollte er seinen Frust über die (bösen) Israelis los werden. Guides sollten sich neutral verhalten. Mit fen anderen Guides war ich zufrieden.
