Your pilgrimage begins as you depart the USA on an overnight flight.

You will be welcomed at the Tel Aviv airport by our representative and transferred to your hotel to enjoy dinner before retiring for the night at the brand-new David's Harp Hotel near the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Visit the Franciscan Wedding Chapel in Cana, the site of Jesus’ first miracle, before continuing to Nazareth, Jesus’ boyhood home (Matthew 2:23). Look out over Tel Megiddo (Armageddon) to view one of the most important archaeological sites in Israel. Today’s last stop is Caesarea, a center of the early Christians where an angel visited Cornelius, the first Gentile believer (Acts 10), and where Paul was imprisoned for two years before appealing to Caesar. This evening, enjoy a pastor conference event on the Sea of Galilee and overnight at the brand-new David's Harp Hotel near the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Start the day in Bet Shean, a city continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years.  The uncovered ruins date back to the Greek / Roman city that was part of the Decapolis of Jesus' day.  See colonnaded streets with marble sidewalks, Roman public baths, and a theater. As you stop in Jericho to view the ruins of the city conquered by Joshua (Joshua 6:1, 2, 20), in the distance, you can also see the traditional site of the Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11). Continue to Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947. Overnight at the charming Inbal Hotel.

Explore the poignant exhibits of Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Memorial. Overnight at the charming Inbal Hotel.

Begin your day with a group picture taken from the Mount of Olives, where Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9-12).  Walk the Palm Sunday Road and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and envision the scenes of the night before Jesus’ crucifixion (Matthew 26:36 - 44). Continue to Mount Zion to visit the House of the High Priest Caiaphas, where Jesus was questioned the night of His betrayal (Matthew 26:57). Meditate on the events of the Last Supper as you visit the traditional location of the Upper Room (Mark 14:12-26).  After lunch, wander through the excavations of the City of David.  Explore Hezekiah's Tunnel, an amazing engineering feat that was dug from either end and met in the middle!  (Note:  Those who are claustrophobic may want to meet the group at the other end of the tunnel!). Visit the Pool of Siloam, recently uncovered at the foot of the City.  Overnight at the charming Inbal Hotel.

Ascend by cable car to Masada, Herod’s legendary mountaintop fortress which became the last desperate stronghold of the Jewish Zealots against the Romans. You can still look down on the remains of the Roman camps and the siege ramp below. End your day with a dip in the salt and mineral-laden waters of the Dead Sea. Overnight at the charming Inbal Hotel.

Return to the USA with memories to share and cherish.
