Past Jericho to the Jordan Valley

From the port of Haifa you travel by comfortable minibus through the stunning scenery of the Jordan Valley, passing the ancient city of Jericho – one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns on Earth. Along the way you reach Qasr el Yahud, the historic site on the River Jordan where, more than three thousand years ago, the Israelites are said to have entered the Promised Land after the biblical exodus from Egypt.
