Discover Jericho

Elisha spring

this is considered the lowest place on the planet. It is 1300 feet below sea level, and many believe that water from the spring has an unmatched healing power. It is also the water supply for the town of Jericho, and many believe the extraordinary amount of fruit production this city manages is a result of the spring’s power.

Qasr al yahud

This is on the Palestine/Jordan border, and it is just out of the city. If you visit, you’ll see soldiers on both sides of the water, so it’s important to go with a guide and be careful. This is the site of Jesus’ baptism, and if you wish, you too may be baptized here.

Mount of Temptation

Accessible by a five minute cable car ride, it is here that Jesus fasted for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by the devil three times, and you can visit the grotto where he was tempted to shift stone into bread. After his fast, the angels brought Jesus food here, and often pilgrims visit to better understand what true temptation may have looked like.

Tell es sultan

You know the story of the walls of Jericho, and this is the excavation site that made it possible to find those. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, history from 10,000 years ago can come alive as you visit this amazing location. You’ll also find the Tower of Jericho here.
