More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Jerusalem’s morning light into an air that carries history and the distant hush of the Jordan Valley. The minivan hums along roads framed by stone terraces and scrub, a guide pointing out the changing skyline as Ramallah’s concrete meets Bethlehem’s carved stone. By the Jordan River the water seems to dare you to remember the stories tied to it; in Jericho the wind pushes sand and time across ruins that predate written law.
