Travel Letter: Jericho Dead Sea Tour With Moses Tale

G W Shockley recounts a Jericho and Dead Sea trip amid heat and barren landscapes. He notes the Dead Sea’s depth and descent from Jerusalem, visits Bethany and Lazarus tombs, and highlights ancient sites and the Moses burial legend on Nebo. He cites recent archeological finds near Bab ed-Dra and confirms Sodom and Gomorrah lie south of the Dead Sea.
