Our adventure begins as we depart from London Heathrow and fly to Tel Aviv. Upon arrival, we meet our guide and transfer to Nazareth, where we check into our hotel in the early hours. A good night’s rest prepares us for the incredible journey ahead.
After breakfast, we set off to explore the beautiful Galilee region, where Jesus lived and taught. Our day begins at Ginosar, where we see a preserved 1st-century fishing boat, much like those used in Jesus’ time. We then enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, reflecting on the biblical stories that took place on these very waters. Next, we visit Capernaum, the town where Jesus taught in the synagogue, followed by a stop at the Mount of Beatitudes, the setting of the Sermon on the Mount. In the afternoon, we explore the ancient ruins of Bethsaida Julius (thought to be the home of the apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip) and end the day in Magdala, where we see the remains of a 1st-century synagogue believed to have been visited by Jesus. We return to Nazareth for dinner and overnight.
Today, we venture into the scenic Upper Galilee. Depending on the group’s preference, we may visit Mount Bental, offering breathtaking views over Syria, or stop at Yarden Winery to learn about local winemaking. An alternative option is to explore the Aramaic Christian community in Haifa. Later, we visit either an ancient synagogue at Bar’am National Park or return to Haifa to experience Aramaic heritage. After a traditional Aramaic ‘Passages’ meal (payable locally), we visit Technion, Israel’s leading science and technology institute, followed by a tour of Atlit, a historic site connected to Jewish immigration. Our final stop is the ancient port city of Acre, rich in Crusader and Ottoman history. We return to Nazareth for dinner and overnight at a new hotel.
After breakfast, we check out and begin our journey toward Jerusalem. Our first stop is Sde Eliyahu, a religious kibbutz known for its organic farming and pioneering Bio Bee project. Continuing south, we pause at Mahane Yehuda Market, where we can enjoy a local falafel lunch (payable locally) and experience the vibrant atmosphere of Jerusalem’s famous market. In the afternoon, we visit CFI Jerusalem Offices and the Hope Centre, followed by a panoramic view of the city from the Mount of Olives. Walking the Palm Sunday route, we stop at Dominus Flavit (The Tear Drop Church) before spending time in prayer and reflection at the Garden of Gethsemane. The day concludes with a special visit to the Garden Tomb, where we reflect on the resurrection. We end the day with an amazing Shabbat dinner.
This morning, we travel to Bethlehem, where we visit the Church of the Nativity, marking Jesus’ birthplace, and stop at the Shepherd’s Fields (if time allows). A highlight of the day is meeting Arab Christian believers at Beit Al Liqa’, where we also have a light lunch (payable locally). In the afternoon, we return to Jerusalem and explore the Old City, walking through its ancient streets, visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and experiencing the history of the City Walls. We return to our hotel for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, we set off toward the Negev Desert, beginning with a visit to Beersheba, one of the oldest cities in Israel, linked to the patriarch Abraham. We then explore the fascinating Salad Trail, an agricultural innovation near Gaza that showcases how desert land is transformed into thriving farmland. After a local lunch (payable locally), we visit the Herodian, King Herod’s fortress and palace, before continuing to Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. We return to Jerusalem in the evening for dinner and overnight.
On our final day, we explore Jerusalem’s modern and historical landmarks. At the Israel Museum, we see a model of ancient Jerusalem and visit the Shrine of the Book, home to the Dead Sea Scrolls. A deeply moving visit to Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Memorial, follows, offering a time of reflection. After a final lunch together (payable locally), we transfer to Ben Gurion Airport for our return flight home, carrying unforgettable memories of our time in the Holy Land.
