Experience the Holy Land like a local in this 12-day encounter through Israel’s most historic and spiritual sites.
Swim in the Dead Sea, take a boat across the Sea of Galilee, and explore dozens of spiritual, Biblical, and historical sites including Mt. Beatitudes, the Wailing Wall, the Stations of the Cross, Mt. of Olives, and the Garden of Gethsemane, and many, many more. We’ll spend time in Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Galilee. There will be plenty of free time to roam the city’s many markets, alleyways, and other museums.
If 12 days isn’t enough, travellers have the option to extend the trip to Jordan and Egypt, each of which includes a visit to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, among other historic highlights.
“I am so excited to host a tour to Israel. The Bible will come alive as you travel through all the places you hear so much about. You will be able to walk in the footsteps of your favourite Bible heroes and Jesus.
This trip will inspire your faith, deepen your worship and change the way you read the Bible. I look forward to spending time together as we travel through the Bible lands. Join me for this once in a lifetime experience.”
Ps. Vili Aufai, GPCC

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Travel insurance is compulsory and not all policies are equal. Most of our travellers use our preferred travel insurance providers. Visas for Australian citizens travelling to Israel on Australian passports as tourists do not require a visa. Tipping is expected in the countries we visit and often makes up a large part of people’s wages. Since tipping isn’t a usual part of the everyday Australian life, we have included it into your tour cost to keep it simple and easy
T&C: Tour dates and length is subject to change depending on airline schedules and your city of departure. Please note the pricing is correct at time of 23 November 2019. Pricing can change due to airline availability and currency fluctuations. The price of the airfare is only guaranteed once a customer has paid in full. Flight availability is limited. Booking early is therefore strongly recommended. All prices shown are per person based on twin share and include airfares, all taxes and tips.
