Day 3
Begin the day with a visit to the City of David to discover remains of the original city captured by Israel's beloved King David and made eternal capital of the Jewish Homeland. Next, enter the Old City to visit to the Davidson Center, for a multimedia overview of the Temple Complex that depicts ancient pilgrimage to the Temple in a unique way. Next, visit the Western Wall, the most sacred site in Judaism being the only standing remnant of the Second Temple. Tour the Western Wall Tunnels for a moving experience as you are guided through the excavations beneath the Western Wall. Weave through the narrow streets of the Old City's markets, steeping yourself in its sights, sounds and aromas, and perhaps try your hand at hunting and bargaining for treasures. Visit the Jewish Quarter & Cardo where the ancient Roman market place once stood. In the afternoon visit the Israel Museum which houses many ancient near Eastern artifacts and a vast collection of other treasures. Delve into the mysteries of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book and see the 2nd Temple period Model of ancient Jerusalem. Overnight in Jerusalem.

Drive to the Dead Sea area and visit Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Continue to Ein Gedi and take a medium hike through its Nature Reserve to the beautiful waterfall. Take the cable-car up to Massada and explore the fortress built by Herod the Great, which was the scene of the last epic stand by Jewish rebels during the Great Revolt against Roman occupation nearly 2,000 years ago. The new museum at the visitor’s center reveals the secrets of the rebels’ daily life, the story of the excavations, and how the site became one of Israel’s most important symbols. In the late afternoon, enjoy a dip in the Dead Sea, the lowest, saltiest body of water on earth. Return to Jerusalem.
