• Leaving The Sea of Galilee

    April 29, 2023 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    On our way through the JORDAN VALLEY!

    Today, we will visit Beth Shean (I Samuel 31), a Decapolis Capital mentioned in
    the Gospels. We will walk on the ancient streets; view the Roman steam baths, the theatre, coliseum, market and temples.

    We will leave the beautiful Galilee and head down south to the Jordan Valley towards Jesus' Baptismal Site on the Jordan River.

    Located across from Jericho, the oldest city in the world and a beautiful oasis (Joshua 3), it is believed to be the traditional site where Jesus was baptized by John (Mathew 3:13). We will also visit
    Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls have been found.

    A nice ride along the Dead Sea will
    bring us to our hotel, located in the lowest place in the world, 1300 ft, below sea level!
