About Jericho
Jericho sits in the Jordan Valley, well below sea level, cradled by desert and fed by a generous spring that has drawn settlers for thousands of years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on earth. It is the city whose walls, according to the Book of Joshua, fell at the sound of trumpets and a great shout after seven days of marching. Travelers passing through in later centuries knew it as a lush oasis of date palms on the long, winding road up toward Jerusalem, the very road conjured in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
