Why Jericho
Jericho lies in the Jordan Valley about 258 metres below sea level. Its winters stay warm and sunny, which makes it a refuge for families escaping the cold of higher cities.
A long history
Jericho is counted among the oldest inhabited cities in the world. Tell es-Sultan, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, holds thousands of years of life in this place.
To stay
A villa with a private pool and garden gives a family a full holiday without travelling far, with a privacy that hotels do not offer.
To invest
Demand for holiday stays in Jericho rises in winter, during holidays and feasts. A villa you own can be your family's home and earn an income while you are away.
