Top Israel Experiences

  • Gazing from the overlook at the ancient Mount of Olives toward the skyline of Jerusalem, with the golden Dome of the Rock shining brilliantly in the sun. 
  • Standing at the Western Wall in Jerusalem as Orthodox Jews pray fervently – men on one side, women on another. 
  • Making a pilgrimage to Biblical sites such as the Sea of Galilee, the city of Nazareth, and the Jordan River.
  • Taking in the panoramic views and poignant history at the top of Masada, where a thousand Jews held out for three years against a Roman assault. 
  • Floating effortlessly in the Dead Sea, the world’s saltiest body of water. 
  • Visiting a kibbutz (collective village) complete with dinner, evening performance and perhaps an overnight stay. 
  • Strolling along the Mediterranean in the modern city of Tel Aviv and coming upon the ancient city of Jaffa. 
  • Bargaining for souvenirs in the crowded souks of Jerusalem’s Arab quarter.
  • Making a pilgrimage to Bethlehem, home to the Church of the Nativity, reputed site of Jesus’ birth.
  • Overlooking four countries -- Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt – from your hotel room in the Red Sea resort town of Eilat.
