Jericho

Jericho, often called the “City of Palms,” is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, located in the fertile Jordan Valley near the West Bank. Renowned for its biblical significance, Jericho features prominently in stories such as the fall of its walls during Joshua’s conquest and the New Testament tale of Zacchaeus. Beyond its religious heritage, the city offers a lush oasis amid the desert, historic archaeological sites like Tell es-Sultan and Hisham’s Palace, and access to natural wonders such as Wadi Qelt and the nearby Dead Sea. With its unique combination of history, spirituality, and natural beauty, Jericho continues to captivate pilgrims, historians, and travelers alike.
