You step out of an air-conditioned minivan onto the cracked stone of Manger Square and the day's pulse shifts—horse-chestnut trees shade vendors while the separation wall's concrete panels stare back with painted messages. The tour moves like a practiced itinerary: Jerusalem's Old City streets in the morning, then over the checkpoint into Bethlehem to read Banksy's blunt graffiti, and down into the Jordan Valley where Jericho opens like an ancient book.
