Mount of Temptation in the Town of Jericho in Palestine
One of the places we wanted to visit was the Mount of Temptation just outside the Town of Jericho - only problem - it is in Palestine. We were told by anyone that we spoke to that it was too dangerous for us to visit, especially seeing that we were driving an Israeli Registered car.
So being the adventurous people that we are, we decided to drive as close as we could to Jericho. We were fully expecting either the Israeli or Palestinian Police to stop us at some point and turn us back.
As you leave Israel you pass these warning signs, we were a little uncomfortable, but pressed on.
We came to the entrance into Jericho without see any security persons - so drove on.
Today there was no problem, but it is not always this peaceful, and on another visit into Palestine, which I will report on in the future, we found ourselves in a very dangerous situation.
Anyway, on this day, we kept driving and followed the signs to The Mount of Temptation.
As soon as you cross into Palestine our Israeli Sim Card stopped working and we could not follow Google Maps
