Important: We absolutely do not recommend taking less than 14 days from Ar-Ramtha to Jerusalem! Ideally, set aside one day for sightseeing in Jerash / the ancient city of Gerasa; two days for Amman; one day for Madaba; one day for Jericho and at least three days for Jerusalem! Additionally, plan at least half a day for Bethlehem, as well as a few days for the trip to Galilee (Nazareth and the Jesus Trail). A total of about 21 days / 3 weeks is ideal.

Details on the sights listed above, as well as tips for accommodation and contacts, are stored as POIs in the Mapy app. These are continuously updated and expanded based on feedback from pilgrims.
