Jericho
Jerusalem, Israel
Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, situated in the Jordan Valley, just north of the Dead Sea. Visitors encounter remnants of ancient fortifications and the famous Mount of Temptation, said to be where Jesus was tempted by the devil. With its rich archaeological history, Jericho has been a focal point of cultural exchange for millennia.
Spending a few hours here allows for exploration of the archaeological park and the iconic Sycamore tree. The best time to visit is during the cooler months from October to April, when the weather is pleasant. The city is easily accessible from Jerusalem, making for a worthwhile day trip.
