Dagtur til Dødehavsdalen med GaryTheGuide
Beskrivelse
En Dead Sea dag med GaryTheGuide er skræddersyet til dine behov. Jeg vil afhente dig på dit hotel eller aftalt på placering, bringe dig til de steder, du er interesseret i, og gøre dagen varer så længe eller kort som du ønsker. Vi vil ikke bare indlejre os i dramatiske historier, forklare historien og dykke ind i Dødehavs natur og dens steder, men vi vil diskutere de virkninger, disse steder har haft på vores samfund i dag. Geopolitik og økologi vil være til stede sammen med historisk arkæologi og religion. Alt dette er ud over afslapningen og undren over de døde. Jeg vil passe på dig undervejs og sørge for, at du kender alle dine muligheder, så du kan træffe de mest informerede beslutninger: frokost eller snacks, butikker, der opfylder dine behov, og oplevelser, der interesserer dig mest. Tilpas denne tur ved at vælge 3-4 af de nævnte steder. Gør dette til din drømmedag på et af de mest unikke steder i Israel. Kom og nyd det Døde Hav med mig!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Ved Kalya Beach vil du stå på det laveste sted på Jorden. Du vil vade i det unikke vand i Dødehavet, hvor du flyder og føler dig næsten vægtløs. Derudover kan du ride på en kamel, drikke i den laveste bar på Jorden og nyde butikker, der viser Dødehavets vidundere: Salte, mudder og datoer. Efter denne oplevelse føles dine muskler afslappet, og din hud bliver sund og blød. Hvem kunne give dette op?
Masada er et bjerg med stejle klipper, utroligt bevaret arkæologi, over 2000 års historie og drama, der stammer fra kong Herodes gennem det 20. århundrede. Du kan rejse bjerget til fods eller med svævebane. Over vil du se gammel skønhed, høre om beslutninger om liv og død og diskutere, hvordan Masadas mening har udviklet sig i moderne tid. Synspunkterne er fantastiske, og de inspirerer til diskussioner om økologi, internationale relationer og spiritualitet.
To naturlige kilder fra Judean-bakkerne konvergerer her og danner den mest frodige oase i Judean-ørkenen. En kort gåtur bringer dig til flere vandfald, hvor du kan dyppe fødderne eller vade ind i selve faldet. Længere vandreture kan tage dig til antikke templer, puljer og huler, der vises i historier om bibelske konger. Uanset om du leder efter et forfriskende stop eller en spændende vandretur, er Ein Gedi en perle, som du ikke vil glemme.
For to tusinde år siden bosatte sig et meget unikt samfund i Qumran. Ved hjælp af vandet fra flodbedet skabte de et samfund baseret på renhed, kameratskab, undersøgelse og skrivning af tekster. I moderne tid, næsten tilfældigt, blev Dødehavsruller fundet, mest skrevet her i Qumran. Når vi går gennem de arkæologiske rester af deres landsby, ser vi, hvordan de overlevede i ørkenen, ved hjælp af vand, hvor der næsten ikke er nogen, og søger efter Gud langt væk fra enhver by eller distraktion.
Den "mægtige" Jordan er faktisk en langsom bugtende flod, med planter og grønne områder i overflod. Lige ovenfor er den barske ørken, næsten uden liv. Dette er sceneriet for både Johannes Døberen og Josva. Her døber en af dem Jesus, og den anden fører Israels Børn ind til det forjættede land. Du kan gå ind i det samme vand og se folk, der er kommet for at blive døbt på både den israelske og jordanske bred.
At komme ind i en af de ældste byer på jorden er simpelthen spændende. Her vil du besøge det gamle arkæologiske område, hvor landbruget først begynder, og se et 9000 år gammelt tårn og muligvis stedet, hvor murene faldt. Blot et par minutter væk finder du et af de mest fantastiske mosaikgulve i verden i et 1300 år gammelt palads fra Umayad-perioden. Udforsk Jerikos forbindelser til Bibelen, historierne om Jesus og moderne politik. Denne by ser ud til at forblive relevant den dag i dag.

Tremendous trip with Gary. Highly recommend him. Gary is extremely knowledgeable and flexible. He is kind and considerate as he guided our family on multiple tours during a heat wave of historic proportions. I was so impressed that Gary took the time to scout out hikes in the Red Canyon and Timna the day before we went together. The man cares deeply about safety and the best experience. Gary has deep knowledge of history and geology that was a terrific combination in the Negev, Mitzpe Ramon, The Dead Sea and Masada. Looking for a family friendly and extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide, choose Gary. He’s the man.
Thank you! Your family is truly amazing, and the heat wave during the week you were here was truly of historic proportions. It was fun to tour in the south of Israel. Although many people visit the Dead Sea, very few tour the Negev Desert. You were able to enjoy amazing desert landscapes and walk through stunning scenery, not to mention the Ibex and other animals we were lucky enough to spot. You also enjoyed the best camel rides Israel has to offer. I hope we get a chance to explore the north of Israel, the Galilee and Golan Heights next time. You are always welcome to tour with GaryTheGuide.
We have toured twice with Gary - a day tour of Jerusalem several years ago, and this year a day tour of the Dead Sea area. Both times we are really grateful to have gone with Gary. Gary is super knowledgeable and also a really nice guy. He is a font of detailed historical knowledge. On this most recent trip, we encountered some unexpected weather obstacles, such as excess wind that on short notice closed access to Masada. Gary gave us great historical overview from the at the museum, and then offered us some fascinating alternate options. Ein Gedi was also closed, so he took us to Qumrun where the Dea Sea Scrolls were found and shared a lot of knowledge. With our unexpected remaining time, he also then offered an option more frequently appealing to his Christian guests (we are Jewish) - he took us to the area on the Jordan River where John was baptized. It turned out to be really interesting and cool, and we even brought back some water from that spot on the river for a Christian friend back home (who was really happy to receive it). All in all Gary is great. He's a lovely guy and knows a ton. Highly recommended for both tours.
Thank you! It was a day filled with unexpected circumstances by the Dead Sea. It was fun to be with you, and I thank you for your openness and flexibility. We were able to see some off the beaten track sites and feel the deep connection that the Dead Sea and the Jordan River have to our history. It's a unique landscape that seems to draw in dramatic events. I'm looking forward to your next adventure with GaryTheGuide.
Gary is a terrific guide. He is a historical expert and knows many behind the scenes of living in Israel. Our tour was fascinating. Thanks Gary!
Thank you so much for your kind words. This tour was truly interesting since we visited an off the beaten path site in the Armenian Quarter and had the chance to see a wedding taking place by the Western Wall. You never know what gems you will find on any day in The Old City of Jerusalem. I appreciate your flexibility. It was fun to experience something different. Feel free to contact me when you come back to Israel. There are always new things to see. Thanks, GaryTheGuide
Gary led us on a tour with a wide variation of ages, levels of athleticism and expectations. He managed a tough crew with lots of different needs with a degree of extraordinary calm and optimism. We learned a great deal, more than just the surface, but the deep history, presented from a number of different perspectives that allowed us to form our own opinions. Strongly recommend Gary for all your Israel tour needs. He is the best.
We had an amazing experience with Gary the Guide! We spent several days in the Dead Sea region including an overnight stay in Ein Gedi. We got to see this ancient site and hike through the trails and my son had his bar mitzvah at the site. Gary is so incredibly knowledgeable as well as just a pleasure to be with. The sunrise hike up Masada and his tour among the ruins were absolutely incredible as well. I wish I could do it all over again! He did a really good job of balancing information for the younger and older generations (our group was aged 11-75). He planned a trip that was loved by us all. This was truly a trip of a lifetime.
Gary is the real deal. A most personable soul who travelled with us for 7 days from the Golan Heights all the way down to Eilat and everything in between. His knowledge(Judeochristian) is superb and fascinating. I would never consider going back to Israel with any other guide service. The only negative about Gary is that he is a die hard Cubs fan!
