If this is correct, it might be one of the earliest Christian prayer facilities anywhere in the world. Also identified is the cave where John the Baptist lived, according to numerous Byzantine pilgrims’ texts. The cave was turned into a church and a freshwater channel running from the cave, purportedly used by John for baptizing, can still be visited today. Then Within transfer to Mukawir, Which is the hilltop stronghold of Herod the Great. Upon Herod’s death, his son, Herod Antipas, inherited the fortress and it is from here that he ordered John the Baptist to be beheaded after Salome’s fateful dance. After the visit, continue to the Dead Sea, which is one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the whole world; it is the lowest point on earth, and the world's richest source of natural salts, hiding wonderful treasures that accumulated throughout thousands of years.

The disciples slept and left him alone in this hour of agony, and soon afterwards he was arrested and taken into the city. Then transfer to Bethlehem, visiting the Nativity Church and the Shepherds Field in Bethlehem, The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the world.
