Day 6: Beth Shean - Jericho

Start the morning by heading south. Drive to Beth Shean (Scythopolis). Climb the mound, where the corpses of King Saul and his sons were hung by the Philistines after being slain on Mount Gilboa. Recall the tragic story and view the surroundings. Visit the excavations from the Roman Byzantine periods (the Roman Theater, streets, temples, and much more), and see one of the Decapolis.
If time allows, visit the ancient synagogue of Beit Alfa with its beautiful mosaics.
Continue south, through the Jordan Valley.
Drive to Jericho, visit the excavations of Tal-El-Sultan. View the Mount of Temptation. Pass by the famous sycamore tree that Zacchaeus climbed.
