1 Day Tour :Jerusalem & Dead Sea from the Ashdod Port - Only 175 US$ per person
"Join us & explore the best of Israel"
Pick-up by your guide at the Ashdod Port, and drive up the Judean Mountains to the Holy City – Jerusalem! We start our tour with a panoramic view of the holy city, Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives. A leisurely walk takes us down, through the holy Jewish cemetery, to the "Garden of Gethsemane" with its "Church of all Nations" and ancient Olive trees, almost 2000 years old! We continue to the "Wailing Wall", the last remnants of the holy Jewish Temple, and, conditions permitting, visit the Temple Mount itself, where we can see the Muslim Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque. Then we walk through the colorful "Suq" (Bazaar) and follow the different stations of the "Via Dolorosa", the "Way of the Cross" according to Christian tradition. The Way of the Cross ends at the "Church of the Holy Sepulcre", built traditionally on the site where Jesus was crucified and buried. We end the Old City tour with the Jewish Quarter, including Mt. Zion with King David's Tomb and the Place of the Last Supper. Noon time, we drive through the Judean Desert to the deepest point on Earth – The Dead Sea. After lunch next to Qumran, we will relax and reflect on the experiences we gathered during the day, while floating on the healing waters of the Dead Sea. At the end of the day our guide will drive you back to the Port of Ashdod.
1 Day Tour: Nazareth & Sea of Galilee – Only 170 US$ per person
"Jesus have been here"
After ending all necessary formalities, our Guide will welcome you at the Port of Haifa and drive you to Nazareth. Here you will visit the glorious Basilica of the Annunciation, standing right on the House of Mary, where Jesus spent most of his life. Surprisingly, this is a modern church, built in the 20th Century according to the most recent beliefs of the Catholic Church. We continue driving through the city of Nazareth, passing by "Mary's well", were according to the Orthodox tradition the Annunciation took place. A short drive through the Land of Galilee brings us to Cana, where according to Christian tradition Jesus performed his first miracle, by turning water into wine at a wedding. We walk through Cana's main street, were local merchants offer "Cana Wine" and visit one of the three churches commemorating this event.
After another short drive through the Galilee, Lake Kinnereth, the "Sea of Galilee", unfolds below us. On the "Mt. of Beatitudes" we can enjoy the special church built by the Italian architect Berluzzi, as well as the wide view over the Sea of Galilee. We also visit the archaeological excavations of Capernaum, "The Town of Jesus", with St. Peter's House and its well-known Synagogue. We will also see the reconstructed Church of the Multiplication with its very unique mosaic-floor, dating back to the 6th Century, before driving back to the Port of Haifa.
