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, running water and a combination of sounds and colors. The demonstration shows how the desert transformed into a symbol of – and a vision for – Jewish immigration and industrial development in Israel.

Scopus upon arrival in Jerusalem for a magnificent view of the city and a brief explanation about the capital’s past and future. Overnight in Jerusalem
