Israel: The Promised Land

10 Days / 9 Nights from £5795/ $7534 per person

Israel: The Promised Land is a private tour designed for the Christian visitor with a keen interest in visiting the Holy Land’s New Testament sites as well as discovering cultural highlights of Roman, Crusader, Arab and Jewish interest. Considered one of the most holy places on Earth, Israel is extraordinarily rich in culture, and is a place where the ancient hills and stones literally ‘speak’ to you with tales of Old Testament prophets and disciples spreading the good news. Time on the tour has been dedicated to exploring the sites of Christ’s early ministry in the Upper and Lower Galilee, where amongst other places, you will see Capernaum where St. Peter once lived, Mount Tabor (site of the Transfiguration of Christ), and Nazareth’s Basilica of the Annunciation. The keystone of the Israel: The Promised Land tour is a four night stay in the Holy City of Jerusalem with two days dedicated to the magical Old City itself. Here you will be able to admire the views from the Mount of Olives, walk the Palm Sunday Road to the Gardens of Gethsemane, visit the Stations of the Cross, and gaze on the mount of Golgotha. Visits to Ein Kerem, the birthplace of John the Baptist, and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem complete the Israel: The Promised Land experience.
