Talmudic periods. We will continue south along the
Jordan Valley to visit the “Naharayim Experience
at Gesher”. Nicknamed the “start-up” of last century,
this unusual light and sound show is filled with models
demonstrating the dam system. The demonstration
shows how the desert transformed into a symbol of
- and a vision for - Jewish immigration and industrial
development in Israel. Our day will continue with a
drive to Jerusalem through the Jordan Valley’s
stunning landscape. We’ll stop at Mt. Scopus upon
our arrival in Jerusalem for a magnificent view of the

city and a brief explanation about the capital’s past

about King David’s historical city, and a “wet” walking
tour of the ancient water system connecting Warren’s
Shaft to the Shiloah tunnel (Hezekiah’s Tunnel). We

Temple period, then continue on for a neighborhood
tour around the Mahane Yehuda Market to meet
different local ethnic groups and taste some of their
cultural foods. We’ll end the day with a drive to the
