Israel Tour
A Once in a Lifetime tour of Israel! 10 day tour - March 20, 2026
Information
Our special Holy Land Tour includes all of the important sites in Israel, such as Jerusalem, Garden Tomb, Galilee, Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, and more.
Visiting the Holy Land is a life-changing experience. You will never read the scriptures in quite the same way after walking in the footsteps of prophets, apostles, and the Savior. The men and women whose stories have inspired us since childhood come to life in a manner that is remarkable and penetrating. When Jesus walked to Emmaus with two of his disciples, they later remarked, “Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?” We feel confident you, too, will feel the power of the Bible’s familiar stories as you experience the sights and sounds of the land that gave us our shared spiritual heritage. After visiting the lands of the scriptures, you will always feel certain unique homesickness for them and a longing to return.

Itinerary
Today the tour departs from home and travels to Tel Aviv.
Day 2: March 21: Tel Aviv
After clearing customs, we will transfer to your hotel in Tel Aviv. (Transfers are included if you booked our group airfare or your flight arrives on or before and departs on or after our group flights.)
Day 3: March 22: Dead Sea
This morning, we will drive through the Judean Wilderness, where we will enjoy the unique weightless experience of swimming in the Dead Sea. We will then transfer to our hotel in the Galilee area.
Day 4: March 23: Galilee
Our journey today takes us north of the Sea of Galilee. We begin by visiting Capernaum, where so many wonderful events and teachings of the Savior took place. We then stop at the Mount of Beatitudes, where we will ponder the great truths delivered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Driving to the far north of Israel to Tel Dan. Here, Jeroboam erected a golden calf for the Israelites to worship, marking the beginning of a road that would end with the “lost ten tribes.” The restored walls and gates give us an excellent idea of the fortifications Joshua would have faced as he conquered the land. We will visit Banias, known as Caesarea Philippi in the days of Jesus, where he asked his disciples, “Whom do ye say that I am?” At the end of the day, we will return to our hotel in Galilee. Our day would not be complete without a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, where we can discuss Jesus walking on the water and stilling the storm.
Day 5: March 24: Nazareth – Galilee
Today we will drive to the top of Mt Carmel, where Elijah had his historic confrontation with the priests of Baal, with its dramatic conclusion. We travel on to Nazareth, home of the Savior for thirty years of his life. We will visit Mount Precipice, which has a sweeping view of the Jezreel Valley from Nazareth, dominated by Mt. Tabor, where we will discuss the transfiguration of the Savior. We will also visit the Arbel Cliff today for a fantastic overview of the Sea of Galilee.
Day 6: March 25: Caesarea – Bethlehem – Jerusalem
This morning, we will head to the Mediterranean Sea, where our focus shifts now to the Apostles Peter and Paul as we discover Caesarea. Here, the Roman centurion, Cornelius, became the first gentile convert to Christianity, and Paul related his account of his vision on the road to Damascus to King Agrippa. We will visit the picturesque old Roman aqueduct and let you wade in the Mediterranean Sea. We conclude our visit to Caesarea at the Roman theatre and hippodrome, where chariot races were held. We will then visit Bethlehem, where we will remember the wondrous account of the Savior’s birth as recorded in Matthew and Luke and retold each Christmas. We will walk through the Church of the Nativity and sing Christmas Carols. We will have time to shop in the best Olive Wood store in Israel, Nissan Brother in Bethlehem.
Day 7: March 26: Jerusalem
Today we will enter the Old City and visit The Church of St Anne, where the Pools of Bethesda were located. Here Jesus commanded the impotent man to take up his bed and walk. From there, we descend into the Kidron Valley to visit Gethsemane, the Garden of the Savior’s deepest prayers. Our highlight day concludes at Golgotha and the Garden Tomb, where we will have time to ponder the Resurrection and final triumph of Christ.
Day 8: March 27: Jerusalem
Today we reach the spiritual pinnacle of our pilgrimage as we retrace the footsteps of our Savior during the last hours of his life and feel the deep appreciation these places create for the sacrifice of the Son of God. We begin on Mt. Zion at the traditional site of the Upper Room, where the Last Supper was shared with devoted apostles. We will then visit St. Peter in Gallicantu, the possible site of the cock’s crowing, and the Palace of Caiaphas, where Jesus was tried.
Day 9: March 28: Jerusalem
Today our attention is drawn to the Old City of Jerusalem. We will explore the ruins located south of the Temple Mount, where you can walk the sidewalks and stairs of Jesus’ time. We will climb the Temple Mount, where both Solomon’s and Herod’s temples once stood and where the magnificent Dome of the Rock and Al Aksa Mosques now stand. We will then travel to the new city of Jerusalem and visit the Shrine of the Book, where the Dead Sea Scrolls are located, and the Model City, a reproduction of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. After our tour, we will transfer to the Tel Aviv Airport for our return flight home just before midnight tonight. (There is no hotel night included on the tour this night.)
