Overview

If you want to see the whole country in one trip without driving or planning it yourself, this 6 day Israel tour covers the classics from the desert to the far north. Over six fully guided days you explore Jerusalem's Old City, Bethlehem and Jericho, ride up to Masada and float in the Dead Sea. Then you head north to the Golan Heights, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, and finish on the Mediterranean coast in Caesarea, Haifa, Rosh Hanikra and Acre.

Day 1 covers the Old City and modern Jerusalem and ends at Yad Vashem. Day 2 goes to Jericho and Bethlehem for the Church of the Nativity. Day 3 drops through the Judean Desert to Masada and the Dead Sea. Day 4 climbs to Katzrin and Mount Bental in the Golan Heights. Day 5 visits Nazareth, Capernaum and the Jordan River on the Sea of Galilee. Day 6 follows the coast from Caesarea to the Baha'i Gardens, the Rosh Hanikra grottoes and Old Acre.

This 6 day Israel tour suits first-time visitors, couples, friends and families who want a full picture of Israel in under a week. It mixes faith, history and nature, so it works whether you come for the holy sites, the archaeology or the views. Six days lets you cover the south, the center and the north without packing two regions into one exhausting day. Each evening your hotel is already booked, so all you do is enjoy the ride.

Day 1 pickup is from your hotel in Tel Aviv at around 07:15 or in Jerusalem at around 08:30, and the exact time is confirmed the day before. You stay 5 nights in tourist class hotels with breakfast, listed on your voucher. Choose a double, triple or single room, and the booking form shows the per person price. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, the 6 day Israel tour is non-refundable. Prefer a shorter trip? Look at the 5 day Israel tour, the Bethlehem and Jericho tour or all Israel package tours. Pick an open date on the calendar and book your seats today.
