Welcome to City of Jericho!

The city of Jericho was the first city that was conquered by the Israelites in the promised land, following their 40 years of wandering about in the wilderness. It's one of, if not the oldest city in existence on earth. It is thought to have the oldest known city walls, and the ruins of one of the oldest stone towers anywhere.

Its attractiveness to its residents was mainly due to their access to a great spring of water.

The city is just north of the Dead Sea in a fertile valley that is just to the west of the river Jordan. Access to a good spring of water made the city like an oasis. It was known as the 'City of Palm Trees', which is a testimony of the fertile nature of it. Read about it:

Deuteronomy 34:3, Judges 1:16, 2 Chronicles 28:15
