Sightseeing tours in Jericho with local guides
Experience Jericho Like a Local
Hey there, adventure seekers and history buffs! Are you ready to embark on a journey through time? Well, buckle up because Foxiepass is here to take you on an unforgettable ride through the ancient city of Jericho. Trust me, this isn't your average tourist trap – we're talking about the oldest city in the world, folks!
Tel es-Sultan: Where It All Began
First stop on our magical mystery tour is Tel es-Sultan, the original site of ancient Jericho. Picture this: you're standing on the same ground where humans first decided to settle down and build a city over 10,000 years ago. Mind-blowing, right? Our expert guides will walk you through the ruins, pointing out the oldest stone tower in human history. It's like stepping into a time machine, only without the risk of accidentally becoming your own grandpa.
Hisham's Palace: A Desert Oasis
Next up, we're whisking you away to Hisham's Palace. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Another palace? Yawn." But hold your horses! This 8th-century marvel is anything but boring. With its intricate mosaics and the famous "Tree of Life" mosaic floor, it's like the Sistine Chapel of the desert. Our guides will regale you with tales of the Umayyad caliphs who once lounged here, probably sipping on whatever passed for a piña colada back then.
Mount of Temptation: Devilishly Good Views
Feeling a bit sinful? Then you'll love our trip to the Mount of Temptation. Legend has it this is where Jesus was tempted by the devil for 40 days and nights. But don't worry, the only thing tempting you here will be the breathtaking panoramic views of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. Oh, and maybe the gift shop at the monastery – those monks make a mean jar of honey!
Zaccheus' Tree: A Little Bit of Biblical Celebrity
Remember that short guy from Sunday school who climbed a tree to see Jesus? Well, we've got the tree! Okay, maybe not the tree, but a 2000-year-old sycamore that's pretty darn close. It's a great spot for a photo op – just try not to fall out while recreating the scene.
Why Choose Foxiepass?
Now, you might be wondering, "Why should I choose Foxiepass for my Jericho adventure?" Well, let me tell you:
- Our guides are walking encyclopedias with a sense of humor. They know their stuff and can make even the driest historical fact sound like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster.
- We keep our groups small. No need to elbow your way through crowds or strain to hear over the noise of 50 other tourists.

- We've got insider access. Ever wanted to chat with a local archaeologist or share a cup of tea with a monastery monk? We can make it happen.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your Indiana Jones hat (fedora, not the cowboy one) and join us for an adventure through Jericho that'll make your friends back home green with envy.
