Jericho and the Dead Sea

 Many Bedouin were waiting for us in this drive through the Judean wilderness.  The scarf was fully wrapped on my head before I agreed to buy it.

 The Judean Wilderness is where Jesus was tempted by Satan, this active monastery commemorates the first temptation.  There were pilgrims walking to it.

A Sycamore tree in Jericho, like the one Zaccheus sat in.

Jericho is the oldest city in the world.  We toured the extensive archaeological site.  Then we drove further south to the location where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.


A refreshing stop at the Dead Sea.
