Itinerary
Day 1: Masada and the Dead Sea
Embark on a captivating journey to southern Israel as our tour winds through the picturesque Judean Hills, offering glimpses of the historic Inn of the Good Samaritan. Pausing at sea level for an unforgettable photo opportunity, we then continue our descent beneath sea level, immersing ourselves in the unparalleled beauty of the iconic Dead Sea. Our first destination is Masada, where a cable car transports us to the plateau summit, allowing us to explore the remnants of Herod’s 2,055-year-old palace fortress. Witness remarkable structures, including palaces and a bathhouse, before the tour leads us past the desert oasis of Ein Gedi and Qumran, the discovery site of the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls. The day unfolds with leisure on one of the Dead Sea beaches, offering the unique experience of floating effortlessly in water that boasts 8.6 times more salinity than the ocean. Revel in the therapeutic properties of Dead Sea mud as a natural skin mask and bask in the warm embrace of the glorious Dead Sea sun, ensuring a day of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Day 2: Jerusalem Old and New
We begin our journey by absorbing the breathtaking panoramic views of Jerusalem from the pinnacle of Mount Scopus. As we descend, we traverse the mount, passing by the biblical Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations, and the Kidron Valley, where monumental Jewish tombs stand testament to history. In the heart of the Jewish Quarter, the Cardo unfolds before us—a testament to Jerusalem’s Byzantine-era charm. Our pilgrimage takes us to the sacred Western Wall, where we partake in the age-old tradition of placing a prayer note between the ancient stones. Continuing along the Via Dolorosa, we arrive at the awe-inspiring Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where the profound sites of Christ’s crucifixion and burial tomb captivate our senses. Following a delightful lunch and a leisurely stroll through the bustling Old City bazaar, our expedition leads us to modern Jerusalem. As we navigate the vibrant streets, we culminate our tour at the poignant Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, where authentic artifacts, original documents, captivating photos, and poignant video testimonials of Holocaust survivors come together to tell a powerful and essential narrative.
Day 3: Jerusalem In the Footsteps of Jesus
Embark on a profound journey as we trace the footsteps of Jesus on the revered Mount of Olives. Our pilgrimage begins with a visit to the Church of the Ascension, where Christ ascended to heaven, followed by the nearby Church of the Pater Noster, where the Lord’s Prayer was imparted to his disciples. Experience the poignant Dominus Flevit, the site where Jesus gazed upon Jerusalem and wept in anticipation of its impending destruction. Delve into the spiritual significance of the Church of all Nations and the adjacent Garden of Gethsemane, the poignant setting of Jesus’s arrest on the eve of his crucifixion. Traverse the historical landscape to witness the Pools of Bethesda, and as we enter the Old City, pause at the Church of Saint Anne and the Convent of the Sisters of Zion. The pilgrimage continues as we walk the Via Dolorosa to the 3rd Station of the Cross, retracing the path Jesus took, bearing his cross toward Calvary. It’s essential to note that this unforgettable expedition spans over 5 miles in a hilly city area, which may pose challenges for individuals with difficulty walking long distances.
