This is the third and last episode of the Jericho trilogy that includes episodes 17 and 14. In this last part of the tour we drive through the Jordan Valley and learn why the Westbank is called the Westbank while it is the eastern part of Palestine! We visit the baptismal site on the Jordan river, learn more about the Dead Sea and we hear from tour guide Kamal Mukarkar about the Essenes community that lived in Qumran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found.
