Saturday, 16 of Nov. 2024 Tal al-Qamar to Bethlehem, Thru Hike

From USD 25

Tal al-Qamar means in Arabic Hill of the Moon. The site, which is remote from the hustle and bustle of the city life is a perfect spot to watch a full moon or stargaze. The trek starting at Tal al-Qamar will lead across the serene landscapes of the Jerusalem Wilderness towards the famous Bethlehem. On the way, hikers will climb some rocky hills but will also have some time to sit, close their eyes, and feel the relaxing atmosphere of the surrounding space.
 

After leaving the Bedouin desert, the Masar will take walkers step by step through rural Palestinian life. Here you will discover the meadows and serene villages. The more urban life awaits in Beit Sahour and Bethlehem, the place of Jesus’ birth. There are many historical and sacred sites to visit such as the Church of the Nativity, the Milk Grotto, and Shepherds Fields.
