Classic Israel

8 Days / 7 Nights from £4780/ $6214 per person

The privately guided and chauffeured Classic Israel tour reveals one of the Middle East’s greatest jewels – a country that is uniquely steeped in faith with an unrivalled history dating back to the dawn of civilisation. Held to be sacred by Jews, Christians and Muslims; few places on Earth have provoked such desire in the hearts of men! Our Classic Israel tour has been designed to provide a broad overview of the Holy Land’s religious, historic and scenic highlights, rather than follow the pilgrim’s trail of a single faith. From the Bauhaus buildings of Tel Aviv’s White City on the Mediterranean Sea, to Herod’s rock fortress of Masada in the Judean Desert, and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem where Christ was born; the Classic Israel tour showcases a stunning succession of sites and landscapes while at the same time building a gripping narrative that reaches its glorious crescendo in within the ancient walls of the Eternal City - Jerusalem.
