FOR CHRISTIAN TRAVELERS · A 10-DAY PRIVATE JOURNEY
Jaffa and the coast. Two days in the Galilee of Jesus. The wilderness. And Jerusalem, last.
THE JOURNEY
You have read these places all your life. Over ten days you will stand in them (from Peter’s Jaffa and two unhurried days around the Sea of Galilee to the Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb and the wilderness where David hid) with a licensed guide who knows both the stones and the text, and the quiet to take it in. The journey runs north to south and ends in Jerusalem, the way a pilgrimage should. Yours bends around your church calendar, your pace and the places your heart is set on.
MAKE IT YOURS
A shorter pilgrimage for Catholic travelers, with a day in Bethlehem at the Church of the Nativity.
Tell us your tradition and we'll find the service, wherever you are that morning.
Many travelers choose to renew their baptism at the Jordan. Tell us beforehand and we prepare it.
DAY BY DAY
DAY 1 · JAFFA & TEL AVIV
Airport pickup, then ancient Jaffa (Simon the Tanner's house, and the harbor Jonah sailed from) and an easy drive through Tel Aviv's White City and the Carmel Market.
DAY 2 · THE COAST
Caesarea (where Peter baptized Cornelius and Paul stood trial), then Mount Carmel, where Elijah called down fire, and Haifa's bay on the way to the Galilee.
DAY 3 · GALILEE
Where Jesus grew up: the Basilica of the Annunciation and Mary's Well in Nazareth, then Cana (the first miracle) with time to read and to sit.
DAY 4 · GALILEE
A wooden boat on the lake, Capernaum, Tabgha and the Mount of Beatitudes. Your guide reads the words where they were first spoken, then gives you the quiet.
DAY 5 · GOLAN
Tel Dan and Banias, where Peter was given the keys of the Kingdom, lunch by the stream, and the view from Mount Bental. A green, quiet day most tours skip.
DAY 6 · JORDAN VALLEY
The Jordan River baptismal site (many travelers choose to renew their baptism here) and Beit She'an's Roman streets, then up through the Judean desert for a first view of Jerusalem from Mount Scopus.
DAY 7 · JERUSALEM
The Mount of Olives at first light, Gethsemane, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (with quiet time built in, not squeezed out) and the Garden Tomb for reflection.
DAY 8 · JERUSALEM
The Dead Sea Scrolls and the model of ancient Jerusalem at the Israel Museum, then Yad Vashem, taken slowly and with care.
DAY 9 · DEAD SEA
Masada by cable car, then En Gedi, where David hid from King Saul and spared his life in the cave (1 Samuel 24), and then the opportunity to float in the Dead Sea before the road back up to Jerusalem.
DAY 10 · JERUSALEM
Mount Zion and the Upper Room, the Western Wall tunnels along Herod's stones, and the City of David, then the drive to the airport.

WHAT TRAVELERS SAY
“This has been the most spectacular trip I have ever taken. [...] Dina is an amazing tour guide who makes scripture spring to life during her tours. She is warm, witty, enthusiastic, and has a great love for her country.”
“Dina offered a wealth of information about the places that we visited, not only from historical and archaeological perspectives, but also biblical narratives. Being history fans and followers of Christ, this was RICH!”
“The tour with Dina was simply amazing. It went far beyond my expectations. [...] We didn't just tour sites, but had history lessons which made me understand better the things I'd read in the Bible.”
GOOD TO KNOW
Most days are 2–4 km on uneven stone, with the vehicle always close. Masada is by cable car. Every day on this page carries its walking level, and any stop can be skipped.
Ofir reads your note and replies personally, usually within a day, with a first draft. Nothing is booked until the plan feels right.
Yes. This page shows the shape of the journey; the one we send you is written around your dates, your pace and your calendar.
All year. The most comfortable months are March to June and October to November. August is hot, but it is also when school holidays let families come. We start early and plan air-conditioned breaks. February is cooler and part of the rainy season: roughly one day in three sees some rain, most often a passing shower, and we keep an indoor option ready for every day.
The vast majority of the places we visit are safe, and you will feel at ease throughout. We stay close to the Home Front Command's daily guidance and, if anything changes, we adjust that day's route, which very rarely happens. If a trip has to change because of the security situation, we work it out together: new dates or a revised plan. We confirm the details in writing when you book. Read our "Is it safe?" page, or ask Ofir directly.
