Embark on an extraordinary seven-day journey through Israel, a nation cradled in ancient wonders and biblical history. This meticulously crafted itinerary immerses you in the country’s most iconic sites while experiencing its diverse landscapes and cultures. Israel is a kaleidoscope of picturesque vistas, from desert canyons to lush coastal plains, all layered with profound historical and religious significance.
Your adventure begins in the ancient and hallowed city of Jerusalem. This stone-carved gem of a metropolis captivates with its fusion of faiths and civilizations threaded through winding alleyways and awe-inspiring monuments.
Pay reverence to two of Christianity’s most sacred sites – the Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Jewish Temple, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, believed to be the site of Jesus’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.
No visit to Israel is complete without experiencing the haunting beauty of Masada. This UNESCO-listed mountain fortress bears witness to the Jews’ heroic last stand against Roman invasion. Take a cable car up the iconic plateau to explore the ruins and learn about the 960 Jewish rebels who chose death over surrender.
Then escape to the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, that hypersaline lake where you can float effortlessly as you envelop your skin in revitalizing mineral-rich mud.
Your journey concludes in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Tel Aviv. Stroll along the sun-drenched Mediterranean beachfront, explore the boutique shops and bustling Carmel Market, and wander the winding alleyways of Old Jaffa, the historic port city.
As evening falls, Tel Aviv’s pulsing nightlife beckons with chic rooftop bars, trendy clubs, and an energy that could only be found in the “Miami of the Middle East.”
