It was an extraordinary place in the days of Alexander the Great (332 BC) and was very prosperous - 20,000 inhabitants once lived here. With a site guide, explore the numerous and breathtaking ruins of colonnaded streets, arches, temples and baths in a remarkable state of preservation and completeness. Continue to the forested area of Ajloun to explore Al Rabad Castle better known as Ajloun Castle. Though looking like a Crusader fortress, it was actually built by the Muslims in 1184 as a military fort and to protect the region from invading Crusader forces.

We will also stop by the Sycamore tree. The Book of Luke tells the story of Zacchaeus, who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he entered the city of Jericho. Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and a rich man. He was also fairly short. He tried to get a look at Jesus but couldn't see him over the heads of the crowd, so he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore to get a glimpse. We then continue to The Mount of Olives, one of three hills on a long ridge to the east of Jerusalem and the location of many biblical events. Rising to more than 800 metres, it offers an unrivalled vista of the Old City. We end the day with a visit to the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of Mount of Olives. This is the place where Jesus prayed and his disciples slept the night before Jesus' crucifixion. Overnight in Jerusalem.

We will walk through the Old City and through the Dung Gate to visit the Western Wall, currently Judaism's holiest site where worshippers from around the world come to pray. We continue the walk along the Via Dolorosa – "the Stations of the Cross" – where Jesus fell beneath the weight of his cross. The setting of its present day atmosphere imparts an authentic sense of Jerusalem as Jesus experienced the city in his last hours. The Via Dolorosa also passes through the Old City’s oriental “Suq” (Bazaar) which is part of the Cardo where it has been restored to show how the stalls and shops would have been in Roman times. From there, we continue to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus was crucified and buried. At the end of the day, we continue to Mount Zion to visit the Last Supper room and the Tomb of David. Overnight in Jerusalem.

Archaeologists are assured this is where John the Baptist lived, Jesus was baptized, and the first five apostles met. The path leading to the Jordan River transform from a dry desert into a tropical oasis and it becomes clear why Prophet Jeremiah described it as "the jungle of the Jordan". We then continue to Madaba to view the oldest preserved ancient mosaic map of the Holy Land dating back to the 6th century BC located within the Church of St. George. After a short drive, arrive to Mt. Nebo to retrace the steps of Moses and admire the spectacular view of the Promised Land just as he did over 2,000 years before.
