This three-day package tour takes you to the four iconic Christian sites of Israel - Masada, Dead Sea, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. In Masada, see a hilltop palace-fortress seeped in history. Spend time at the Dead Sea to rejuvenate body and soul. In Jerusalem, we retrace Jesus’ footsteps through the ancient streets of the Old City visiting sites like the Holy Sepulchre and Via Dolorosa. Also visit Mt. Scopus, Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, the Byzantine Cardo, and Bethlehem.
Pick up & Drop off:
Heading south through the Judean Hills and past the Inn of the Good Samaritan we travel below sea level to the lowest point on Earth. We take a cable car to the summit of Masada, a plateau where King Herod built a palace-fortress over 2,055 years ago. After touring Masada we drive through the desert past the Ein Gedi oasis and Qumran to one of the best Dead Sea beaches. Here you can spend time relaxing and floating in the water.
Overnight stay: Jerusalem.
