Armchair Tour of Israel and Jordan

Wander “virtually” along the streets of old Jerusalem. See the remains of Herod’s Temple and the “Wailing Wall” as well as the “Dome of the Rock” on Temple Mound. Visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and other ancient sites in Jerusalem and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Explore the Byzantine monasteries of the Judean Desert, climb up to Masada, and visit Qumran and the caves in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered before having a swim in the Dead Sea. Travel along the West Bank before crossing into Jordan to explore its historic sites, including Machaerus, where John the Baptist was beheaded, and discover the marvelous rock-cut temples and public buildings of Petra.
