If you’re interested in digging deeper into the mysteries of the West Bank this tour will hit the spot. It takes you beyond the most-visited sites, showing you antiquities that many holidaymakers don’t get to see. Your tour begins at Medinet Habu, a grand temple honouring Ramses III.

See the outlines of its houses and visit a villager’s tomb - they built them to replicate those of their royal masters. Absolute
