Guiding is provided in Bethlehem; Jericho is self-guided.

- The waiting lines to see the birth grotto could vary from 1-2 hours during high season
- During this tour, we won't be making a stop at the Cable Car or Mount of Temptation. Instead, we'll enjoy a scenic view of these attractions from the old city of Jericho. This adjustment was made based on feedback we've received over the past few years, taking into account concerns about the closure of the monastery, the limited options available in the area, including an expensive restaurant, costly shopping, potential tourist traps, and the fact that it costs 60 shekels to go up the mountain.
