The Jerusalem Footsteps, Bethlehem and Jericho 3-Day Tour is a well-structured Christian-focused journey that combines Jerusalem’s Old City highlights, the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, and key Jordan Valley sites connected to the New Testament. Across three days with overnight stays in Jerusalem, the itinerary builds naturally: first you get your bearings in the Old City, then you travel through Jericho and the baptism site at Qasr al-Yahud before arriving in Bethlehem, and finally you focus on a walking-intensive day tracing major locations tied to Jesus’ final days. It’s designed for travelers who want meaning, context, and enough time at each place without compressing everything into one long day.
Day one begins with a panoramic introduction from Mount of Scopus, setting the scene with skyline views before heading into the Old City. You enter through Zion Gate and move through the Armenian Quarter, then continue to the Jewish Quarter to see the Byzantine-era Cardo and visit the Western Wall. From there, the day follows the traditional route of the Via Dolorosa into the Christian Quarter, finishing at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the most significant sites in Christianity. You also have time in the Old City bazaar, which adds a lively local layer to the day.
Afterward, the itinerary includes the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, plus views over the Kidron Valley with its ancient Jewish tombs. The day continues past the Dormition Church on Mount Zion and includes visits to the Room of the Last Supper and King David’s Tomb. On Mondays and Thursdays (except during Jewish holidays), the schedule switches to include a visit to the Holocaust Museum instead of the Church of All Nations, King David’s Tomb, and the Room of the Last Supper. Overnight stay is in Jerusalem.
Day two links three powerful stops into one day. You travel past the Inn of the Good Samaritan and descend below sea level into Jericho. In Jericho, you see Tel Jericho and the sycamore tree associated with Zacchaeus, and you pass the Mount of Temptation, connecting the landscape to familiar biblical stories. The tour then continues to Qasr al-Yahud on the Jordan River, traditionally associated with the baptism of Jesus by John.
From there, you travel to Bethlehem, stopping in Manger Square and visiting the Church of the Nativity and the Holy Grotto. You also visit the adjacent Church of St. Catherine and its subterranean areas, then pass Shepherds’ Field before returning to Jerusalem for your second overnight.
Day three is the most walking-focused day, covering over five miles in hilly terrain. It concentrates on Mount of Olives sites including the Church of the Ascension and the Church of the Pater Noster, along with Dominus Flevit. You revisit the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, then continue to the Pools of Bethesda and the Church of St. Anne. The day also includes sections of the Via Dolorosa, tying the sites together into a clear “footsteps” narrative.
This tour is ideal for Christian pilgrims, first-time visitors to the Holy Land, and travelers interested in following the biblical journey of Jesus across multiple locations. The multi-day format suits those who want depth, reflection, and a slower pace rather than fitting everything into one or two long days.
Guests frequently mention the depth and clarity provided by the guides, who help connect each site to the biblical story rather than presenting isolated stops. Many appreciate the three-day structure, noting that it allows time for reflection and reduces the feeling of being rushed. The progression from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and Jericho is often described as meaningful and well thought out, creating a strong spiritual flow across the tour.
This tour offers a rare opportunity to follow the life of Jesus across multiple sacred locations at a comfortable pace. Visiting Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Jericho over three days allows each place to be experienced with depth and reflection. With knowledgeable guides, overnight stays, and a clear biblical narrative, the journey feels immersive and meaningful. It’s an excellent choice for travelers seeking a faith-based experience that goes beyond surface-level sightseeing.
The Jerusalem in the Footsteps of Jesus, Bethlehem and Jericho 3-Day Tour offers a spiritually rich and well-structured pilgrimage experience. By spreading visits across three days, it allows travelers to connect deeply with Jerusalem’s holy sites, the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, and the ancient landscapes of Jericho, creating a meaningful and memorable journey through the heart of biblical history.
