Israel is, and always will be, the spiritual heartland for Christians of all traditions and backgrounds. It is a place where the Bible comes to life, offering profound connections to the stories, people, and events that shaped the foundations of Christianity. From the sacred sites of Jerusalem to the tranquil shores of the Sea of Galilee, Israel is a land of unparalleled significance for those seeking spiritual renewal and enlightenment.
However, there is so much more to Israel than its holy landmarks. This vibrant country offers a unique blend of ancient history and modern innovation, making it an exciting and diverse destination for travelers. Imagine strolling through the bustling streets of Tel Aviv, where cutting-edge technology meets a thriving arts scene, or relaxing on the sun-soaked beaches of Eilat, a paradise for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
For those who love gastronomy and culture, Israel’s wine tours are an unmissable experience. Sample award-winning wines from local vineyards while soaking in the stunning scenery of the Galilee or the Negev desert. History buffs can indulge their curiosity with archaeological tours that uncover layers of history, from ancient Roman ruins to hidden Byzantine mosaics.
Whether you’re seeking a deeply spiritual journey, a cultural adventure, or a mix of both, Israel offers an extraordinary travel experience that will leave you inspired and enriched.
When it comes to Holy Land tours, Shalom Tours is the name you can trust. These tours are our specialty, and we take pride in organizing unforgettable journeys for church groups and faith-based organizations. Our extensive experience means we can tailor a tour to suit your group’s specific requirements, whether it’s a traditional pilgrimage or a customized itinerary with added cultural and historical elements.
A typical Holy Land tour includes visits to iconic sites such as the Mount of Olives, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Western Wall. These places hold deep spiritual significance and offer moments of reflection and connection for every traveler. But that’s not all—our tours go beyond the well-trodden paths to include hidden gems that showcase Israel’s diverse culture and history.
One of the unique benefits we offer is our free place policy for group leaders. For every 20 participants, your group receives one free place, and for groups of 40 or more, two free places are included. This makes our tours not only enriching but also cost-effective for churches and organizations planning a group pilgrimage.
