Today you travel from the Dead Sea into Israel for a three-night visit to the Holy City of Jerusalem. Your base is one of the city’s flagship hotels, The David Citadel. Offering luxurious accommodation, upscale dining, flawless service and a tranquil spa, this modern hotel occupies a prime location overlooking the Old City Walls, Tower of David, and the Jaffa Gate.
During your time in Israel’s first city, you will enjoy a private guided walking tour of the Old City. A charming maze of historic narrow passageways, cobbled streets lined with stalls and hole-in-the-wall eateries, the tour is a chance to see some of the world’s most significant religious sites. These include the Jewish Quarter with the famous Wailing Wall and Dome of the Rock shrine. You will also walk along the Via Dolorosa, the Way of the Cross, a path that marks the 14 stations of the Cross on the day of the crucifixion, which leads to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This site is where it is believed that Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. Other highlights include the Tower of David, the citadel built by the Israelite King David and Mount Zion, home to the Tomb of David, the Room of the Last Supper, and the Church of the Dormition.
Your stay also includes leisure time, during which you can explore many of the first-class museums. We would recommend a visit to Yad Vashem, the memorial for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The site includes the Children's Memorial, the Hall of Remembrance, the Museum of Holocaust Art, and outdoor commemorative sites such as the Valley of the Communities. You may also wish to visit the Israel Museum, home to the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Ammunition Hill Memorial and Museum, dedicated to those who died during the Six-Day War in 1967.
The leisure day also includes a treat for foodies, with a specialist tour of Machane Yehuda food market. Once a trading hub for Arab and Jewish merchants, today the market has a vast array of food stall and cuisines to sample, from boutique stalls to international chef restaurants. You’ll learn about the history of the market, meet the stallholders, and sample the fabulous produce from flavored tahini to spiced halva.
On your last full day in Jerusalem, you will be collected from your hotel by your driver guide for a day trip out to Masada, the Dead Sea, and the Qumran Caves. Built by King Herod, the UNESCO-listed Masada Fortress was the last stronghold of the Zealots against the Romans during the First Revolt of AD 70. You can reach the top by riding the cable car or hiking up Snake Pass. Built around 30 BC, there are three rock terraces to explore including a Roman-style bathhouse with mosaic floors, along with epic views of the valley and the Dead Sea.
For those who need to cool off, there will be another chance to enjoy the saline-rich waters of the Dead Sea, before making the journey to the Qumran Caves. This is where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, the earliest manuscript of the Hebrew Bible and one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century.

The best time to visit climate-wise is in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the daytime temperatures aren't too extreme. April is probably the best month, when temperatures are warm and wildflowers are in bloom. March can be cold and rainy in the north but is balmy by the Gulf of Aqaba and the Dead Sea.
