ISRAEL
Israel is worth seeing with your own eyes. Its sights are breathtaking - from Biblical ruins to Crusader fortresses to WWII memorials to cosmopolitan cities. Whilst Tel Aviv is the cosmopolitan heart of Israel, Jerusalem is its spiritual centre.
If you just read the headlines, a visit to Israel can seem scary. For 1,500 years, Christians, Jews and Muslims have struggled over the Holy Land. The presence of barbed wire and soldiers serve as a reminder that there are still problems to be worked out, yet no angry group is angry at tourists and no popular tourist centres have ever been targeted.
Perhaps your tour should start in peace and tranquillity, in Tiberius on the Sea of Galilee. From here, you can visit Nazareth, Cana, the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Caesarea and a multitude of other New and Old Testament sites. You will also begin to understand the strategic importance of the territory and why it is fought over.
You might then move on to Jericho, through the Judean Desert (Wilderness) and on to the amazing fortress of Masada. Take a long, luxurious dip in the Dead Sea; and then make your way up to Jerusalem.
Our experienced Messianic guides will show you the wonders of the Old City as well as the rich flavours and contrasts of the New: not only is Jerusalem the home of our Christian faith but its cosmospolitan atmosphere, multi-cultural population and deep importance for other faiths ensure compulsive viewing around every corner.
Climb up to the Mount of Olives. Take a day trip to Bethlehem. Visit the site of the Garden of Gethsemane. Tour the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall. Walk along the Via Dolorosa to the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb. Visit the Cardo, the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and the Israel Museum.
There is so much more to see than can be described in a few paragraphs. We will happily sit down with you and help define your ideal itinerary.
