A tour to the heart of ancient Jerusalem

Walking specialist operator, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays, is offering a one week, half board tour to the heart of ancient Jerusalem. With its fascinating 4000 years of history, one can literally walk in the footsteps of David and Solomon, Jesus and Mohammed.

Using Jerusalem as a base, one can explore the Old City visiting the major sites including, the Temple Mount, the Via Dolorosa, the Stations of the Cross, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall, the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane.

The tour also extends farther afield to West Jerusalem where one can visit the moving Yad Vashem (Holocaust Memorial), Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, and the hilltop fortress of Masada where the Zeolots held out against the Roman Army in AD 73.

At Zumran, one can see where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a cave by a Bedouin shepherd and also visit the Israel Museum, where the scrolls are housed today in the Shrine of the Book.

The tour also embraces Wadi Qelt and St George’s Monastery in Jericho – arguably the oldest city in the World.

Price £1,287 departing 4 April for one week, includes return flights from Heathrow, transfers, half board accommodation and the services of a tour leader
