Archeological and Religious Tour - Our day started from the sacred town of Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus. we started exploring some of the core sites of Christianity including the Church of the Nativity. Then we proceeded to our destination targeting Jericho, the oldest and lowest city in the world, where we all enjoyed and overviewed  the ancient ruins and Mount Temptation

Lovely tour! - We had the most wonderful tour with Daniel! He was very helpful and taught us a lot about the current situation in Palestine. He also went to lenghts to make it possible for us to swim in the Dead Sea, as we were a bit late to the place and it was originally closed. Also it was more convenient to do this tour instead of using public transports/private taxis, which would have been more stressful and maybe even more expensive. In addition most destination we visited can't be reached via public transports. All in all I highly recommend his tours, it was worth every penny!

Unique, Thought-Provoking, and 100% Worth the Cost - My favorite part of my tour was visiting Tell es-Sultan, the site of ancient Jericho. It is not at all what I imagined it would be, so I didn't really know how to engage with the site. Dani knows this region inside and out so he was able to guide us through and tell us everything about the history of the archaeological research, the current situation in Jericho, and of course, an amazing traditional Arabic meal.

Visiting Jericho & Dead Sea - We had the best trip visiting Old Jericho, Zacchaeus Sycamore Tree, Elisha's Spring, a delicious lunch & than when leaving Jericho Dani finding the best dates in the world. Our time floating in the Dead Sea was topped by Dani giving us the top quality mud to massage with. All was topped off by a camel photo shoot with the stunning sunset to capture our wonderful day. Thank you Dani Alternative Tours !
