- Mount of Temptation Monastery - During this tour, we won’t be making a stop at the Cable Car or Mount of Temptation. Instead, we’ll enjoy a scenic view of these attractions from the old city of Jericho. This adjustment was made based on feedback we’ve received over the past few years, taking into account concerns about the closure of the monastery, the limited options available in the area, including an expensive restaurant, costly shopping, potential tourist traps, and the fact that it costs 60 shekels to go up the mountain.

Special atmosphere and a perfect tour - It was a wonderful tour, with lots of good surprise, knowledgeable guides, professional drivers and coordinators. The planned tour schedule was perfectls handled, they really treated our worldwide group as their family members. I took lots of tours and visits before, and this one is for sure in top3. Not just because of the sites of course, but because of these Friends who really live according to their beliefs, and who give life to these sites. Their style of communication and that they are accessible in lots of ways also makes them in front of others.
