Description

This is a 9-day tour covering the main historical sites in Israel. The tour includes airport pickup, hotel accommodation, breakfasts, and group excursions. Tours are available in English and Spanish.
Day1
Arrival – Welcome to Israel
Welcome to Israel for your Holy Land Tour. The driver will take you to your hotel.

Day2
Jerusalem Old and New.
Starting in Jerusalem's Old City at Mount Scopus, historically a Jewish cemetery and a Christian place of worship due to its connection to Jesus and Mary. The view reveals the Old City and the Dome of the Rock, built on the site of Herod's Temple, later destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
Exploring the Old City leads to the Zion Gate, the ancient Byzantine Cardo, and the Western Wall, a holy site for Jewish prayers since 70 BC.
Continuing to the Via Dolorosa and the Holy Sepulchre Church, a Crusader-restored site marking Jesus's crucifixion and burial. The journey culminates in the New City at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum, offering insight into the tragic experiences of Jews during World War II.

Day3
Bethlehem and Jericho
From Jerusalem, you will travel southbound to the Dead Sea passing the Inn of the Good Samaritan.
Notice the sign indicating the point of ‘sea level’ as you proceed with the trip towards Jericho at 258 meters below sea level, a city of historical importance stated often in the New and Old Testaments. Jesus entered the city while the tax collector climbed up a sycamore tree so that he could get a better view of Jesus. You can view this ancient tree, as it still exists.
Not far from here is Mount Temptation where Jesus spent forty days and forty nights.
You’ll return back in the direction of Jerusalem past the Judean Mountains to Bethlehem.
You will enter the Church of the Nativity through a small door. Situated below it is the grotto where the birth of Jesus took place.
Inside the church, there is a fourteen-point star marking the spot where Jesus was born as well as an altar commemorating the three wise men. Finally, we reach Shepherd’s Field in Bethlehem.

Day4
Masada and the Dead Sea
Reach the Dead Sea, known for its high salt content, continuing to Masada. Instead of the ancient Snake Path, take the cable car to Herod's mountain fortress. Witness the site of a Roman siege ending in a tragic Jewish mass suicide.
Return to the Dead Sea.
Conclude at the Dead Sea, a therapeutic wonder due to its salt-rich waters, offering a unique floating experience known worldwide for its mineral-rich properties.
