Sodom and Gomorrah.

When you think of these ancient cities, what comes to mind? Certainly, you’ve heard of them before.

What do you think of?
What do you imagine?
Where does your mind’s eye take you when you think of these ancient cities?

There’s debate over why God chose to destroy them, but the stories seem to agree on the people’s wickedness.

In Genesis 19, the stories also agree that God rained down sulfur and fire to destroy the cities and all within them. As you might recall, when Lot’s wife turned back to look, she was turned into a pillar of salt.

(You can go see the “pillar of salt” for yourself.)

There are other references in the Old and New Testaments to Sodom and Gomorrah, too.

But when you see those biblical references come to life…
When you look out upon the ancient ruins of these cities…

You’ll be impressed. You’ll be in awe and wonder.

It’s not often a location that people think to put into your Holy Land tour. But it’s an experience you don’t want to miss. Ask us how we can (easily) add this life-changing location to your itinerary.

P.S Archeologists believe the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah to be slightly south of the Dead Sea. Which means that we can customize your Holy Land tour to include multiple amazing sites in one day. Curious to know which other locations we can add to your experience? Then give us a call and we’ll help you explore the amazing options you may not have thought of yet.
