This 8-day trip through Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories is the perfect Holy Land tour for travellers of a Christan faith and it is also an incredible adventure for travellers who are here for the exploration of this fascinating country. The tour has time to explore the buzz of the city and beaches of Tel Aviv before visiting Tiberias and touring Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth and visiting many important religious and historical sites and monuments. The tour also includes a visit to the Dead Sea where you can bob on top of this remarkably salty Sea, the lowest place on Earth. The tour also visits the famous Sea of Galilee and Masada. On this tour you get to see most of the highlights of this amazing country and relate the important religious sites to the relevant important passages in scripture.
Standard accommodation is based on 3-4 star hotels and a Kibbutz Hotel with upgrades available to deluxe 4-star and 5-star hotels on request.
Note: Our Classic Israel also follows a similar itinerary but has less of a focus on connecting sites to biblical writings and features some more general non-religious sites and a wine tasting in the Golan Heights.
"I would like to praise your Biblical Israel tour, which I was part of between May 21st - May 28th. It was an incredible experience to see all the holy sites in the Holy land, with a highly professional guide who we felt was part of our group at the same time as he was telling us all the facts about the places we visited." Susanne Hultman
