Jordan River Tickets and Tours

Jericho, Jordan River, Mt. Temptation, and Dead Sea Tour from Tel Aviv

interesting mix between past and presence

Actually, it was not our plan to take this tour. We booked a four-day trip, but for the last day, we were the only two tourists. Therefore, Bein harim offered us another trip, and to sum up, we got this trip for free, as a fifth day. This was a huge advantage for us, since we wanted to go to the Dead Sea anyway, but on our own and by Public Transportation it would have been more complicated. Nevertheless, the tour was great. Our tourguide, Joab, explained everything quite well. He was also our driver, but this was not a hindrence to talk well. You could easily understand him, even tought his English was not the best, but he gave a huge effort in it and you could always understand the meaning. While he was talking, you could formly hear his fascination for what he was talking about. Another special thing about him was, that he was a friend of all those local people who worked at the touristic sites. Therefore, it was all the time very friendly and we felt welcomed as well. During the tour, some interesting political facts were told. Besides the present, it was also worth to hear about the past in Jericho, where we could see an old town. It was also somehow funny to go down the Jordan River and see the tourists from Jordan. When we went up to the Mount of Temptation, we were given enough time to go up the stairs, which was especially important for older people (also due to the heat). Our last stop was then at the Dead Sea, where we had about two hours, which is enough to swim in it and apply the Dead Sea mask. All in all it is a tour which is worth to visit. Also if someone might be afraid of going into the palestinian area, it is good to go their with a guided tour.

Jericho, the Jordan river & the Dead Sea from Jerusalem

Highly Recommended: safe & fun for solo-travelers

Our tour was lead by Itamar who was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, which added to the pleasurable experience. The group atmosphere allowed for interactions with people from all walks of life and interesting inter-faith discussions. As a solo-traveler, the small group was a perfect way to explore and learn about the Jewish historical sites of Jordan, Jericho, the Mount of Temptation, and the Dead Sea which I may not have felt comfortable visiting alone.
