We will then ride to Nazareth, the city where Jesus lived. You stay at the legendary Fauzi Azar Boutique Inn, a beautiful guesthouse that is a renovated Arab mansion. Next, on this Israel tour, we will depart in the morning to reach the Sea of Galilee, Israel's largest freshwater reservoir. We will then head north and explore the Northern Part of Israel, including the Banias Nature Reserve, Odem, and Mount Bental. <p>On this Israel overland tour, you are also offered two exciting days exploring the treasures of Jordan. After border customs services, we will cruise overland to discover the ancient city of Jerash, an incredibly well-preserved Roman city boasting colonnaded streets, mosaics, baths, theaters, temples, and a hippodrome. Another highlight of this tour is a full-day exploration of Petra. One of the world's Seven Wonders and poetically described as "a rose-red city half the age of time," Petra is a marvelous destination for any traveler. Your next stop is Jerusalem, where you will join our Holy City tour, a great way to experience and learn about the rich history of Jerusalem's Old City. This tour, fascinating to history lovers, includes sites holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, such as the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, the Al Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We will head south toward the Israeli desert for another exciting day. You will hike to Masada and explore the ancient fortress and archaeological ruins at the top, enjoying a stunning view of the desert and the Dead Sea. Then we will go to the Ein Gedi nature reserve, and finally, go swimming and floating in the Dead Sea, enjoying the therapeutic mud. You will also have the opportunity to explore the West Bank, gaining an unforgettable insight into the culture of this fascinating and controversial region. We will visit the ruins of the oldest city in the world, Jericho, and then Ramallah for a taste of modern-day culture. Lastly, you will enter the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, where Jesus is believed to have been born. On another day, we will take you to Hebron, one of the four holy cities in Judaism and also sacred in Islam. We will drive into the politicized city in a bulletproof bus. The tour is split into two parts- you'll spend the morning with Jewish "settlers" and the afternoon with a Palestinian guide, each in their respective city area. This way, you are given a balanced account of life in Hebron, the city of Abraham, and the burial place of the Biblical Patriarchs and Matriarchs. Check our Israel tours schedule.
