Overview

From the empty tomb in Jerusalem to the fishing village of Capernaum, this 6 day Christian Israel tour takes you through the whole Gospel story in one guided trip. Over six days you explore Jerusalem old and new, Bethlehem and Jericho, the Mount of Olives, Masada and the Dead Sea, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, and the Mediterranean coast. Five hotel nights with breakfast, daily departures and pickup from Tel Aviv make it easy to plan.

Day 1 covers Jerusalem: the Old City walls, the Cardo, the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Yad Vashem. Day 2 takes you to Jericho and the Mount of Temptation, then to Bethlehem for Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity. Day 3 walks in the footsteps of Jesus from the Mount of Olives and Gethsemane to the Pools of Bethesda. Day 4 is Masada by cable car and a swim in the Dead Sea, day 5 is Nazareth, Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee, and day 6 ends on the coast at Caesarea, Haifa, Rosh Hanikra and Acre.

This 6 day Christian Israel tour is ideal for pilgrims, church groups, families and first-time visitors who want to see the Holy Land properly in under a week. Six days means each region gets its own day, so you have time to pray, read Scripture and take photos instead of racing between churches. Your licensed guide explains every site in its biblical and historical setting.

Day 1 pickup is from hotels in Tel Aviv at around 07:15, and most daily pickups fall between 07:00 and 08:30, with exact times sent after booking. The package includes 5 nights on a bed and breakfast basis and entrance fees on every day except day 3. Choose a 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotel package, then a double room per person for 2 or more travelers or a single room if you travel solo. Children pay a lower child rate, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. Because the hotels are pre-paid, the 6 day Christian Israel tour is non-refundable.
