Welcome to the Holy Land! Pick-up from your hotel in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv to starting your Journey.

We’ll first head to Masada on this tour, where we’ll take a journey past the Inn of he Good Samaritan, leading us to our first stop just at sea level to make the most of the great photo opportunity. As we continue to head below sea level to the Dead Sea, we’ll stop at our first point of the tour at Masada, where from here jump on a cable car to Herod’s palace-fortress, now over 2,000 years old. Some of the structures here are truly incredible where we’ll find various palaces and even an old bathhouse! Once we’ve explored this area we’ll head onto the Dead Sea, where we’ll head past the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were first discovered, Qumran. Once we’re at the Dead Sea we’ll spend the rest of the day making the most of some well earned relaxation, utilizing the Dead Sea beaches to our advantages. The sea itself has water nearly 9 times as salty as a normal ocean, which makes for the waters to be extremely buoyant. Don’t forget to make the most of the free face masks, found within the mud of the Dead Sea!

Within Jericho there is a famous sycamore tree that was once climbed by Zacchaeus as he attempted to get a better view of Jesus himself, a sight we’ll make sure to visit. Within the bible, the story of Joshua tells of him marching his troops around Jericho’s city walls until his soldiers collapsed. The walls in front of you are the ones from that very story.

The tour takes us out of Jericho and onwards to Bethlehem, passing the Mount of Temptation, to the place that Jesus was born. We’ll stop firstly in Manger Square in the near vicinity to the Grotto of the Nativity which is believed to be the place that Jesus was born. We’ll enter the Church of the Nativity which is home to the Grotto to see and experience the incredible atmosphere of Jesus’ birthplace.

As is told within the bible, Jesus stood and wept over the destruction of Jerusalem as he stood on the Dominus Flevit, another vital part of our tour. As we move onto the next part of the tour we’ll visit the Church of All Nations where stationed adjacent to this is the Garden of Gethsemane, famous for being where Jesus was arrested the evening of his crucifixion. Moving onto the Old City, we’ll be able to see the Pools of Bethesda on our way before stopping at the Church of Saint Anne and the Convent of the Sisters of Zion.

We’ll enter the Old City via the Jewish quarter, where we’ll see the many centuries old Cardo before moving to the Western Wall. At the Western Wall a tradition is to place a prayer on a piece of paper and placing it within the ancient stones of the wall, which we get the opportunity to do so before heading on. We’ll then follow in the footsteps of Jesus himself and follow the Via Dolorosa which will follow the same route that he took when carrying his cross, ending at the place where Jesus was both crucified and buried, now named the Holy Sepulchre.
