Our Israel travel overview will help you gain a better understanding of the country’s history and geography.

Israel, officially known as the State of Israel, a bit less than 8,000 square miles in size, with geographically diverse features within its relatively small area, most of which is desert, has a population of a bit more than 8 million people.

Located in the Middle East, Israel is land bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest. Israel is located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea.

The modern State of Israel was founded in 1948 by a UN mandate. Although Israel is the world’s only Jewish state, its people are very diverse, including citizens from a variety of ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

Israel has earned world recognition as having a rich and vibrant cultural life. A tremendous source of pride for the State of Israel is its enviable number of inventions and innovations that contribute immeasurably to global advancements in myriad arenas: medical, agricultural, economical, technological, to highlight a representative sampling.

This young nation has reached world-acclaim for having produced more high-tech start-ups and a larger venture capital industry per capita than any other country in the world.

Over the years, Israel was known by many names, Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel); Zion (pronounced Tzion), the location where God’s presence will reside; the Promised Land, the Land of Milk and Honey, and the Holy Land. Today its citizens refer to the country quite simply as, Ha’aretz , meaning the Land .

Once we check into our tents we will head out for a jeep ride as we explore the sites and watch an amazing sunset. Our Bedouin friends will have a traditional supper for us called Zarb, (a roasted lamb and/or chicken feast) waiting for us when we return. We’ll say goodnight and make our way to our personal tents where we’ll spend the evening “glamping” at Sun City Camp.

God Among Us

After a great night of star gazing and enjoying the amazing sunrise we’ll make our way by motor coach from Jordan into Israel via the Arava border crossing. Once in Israel we will be greeted by our Israeli hosts and make a stop to see the Tabernacle replica in the Negev Wilderness before heading to our hotel for a float in the Dead Sea.

Lessons from the Desert

Today is spent in the Negev where we’ll take a cable car to the top of Masada, the fortress where Jewish defenders made their last stand against the Romans in 73 AD. Next we’ll visit Ein Gedi where David hid from Saul and penned many of the Psalms. Continuing on to Qumran we’ll explore the area where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and then finish our day by arriving at Ein Gev Hotel, which will be our home for the next three days. Fellowship, reflection and relaxation will come easy over dinner and a beautiful sunset next to the Sea of Galilee.

“Who Do You Say that I Am”

Today we follow Jesus to Caesarea Philippi where he asked the disciples the essential question “who do you say that I am”. Enjoy the views from the Golan Heights as we make our way to the Hula valley and then down to the Jordan River. We finish our day with a visit to the 3 Vines Winery to watch the sunset and enjoy some Israeli hospitality and culture.

Jesus the Master Teacher

Start the morning with breakfast overlooking Sea of Galilee as we continue our Journey. Today we’ll explore the region where Jesus did over 90% of his miracles and teaching. Visit Capernaum (Jesus’ hometown) as well as the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus gave the famous Sermon on the Mount. Finish the day enjoying an evening boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.

Gods Plan at Work

Today we begin in the ancient Roman Decapolis city of Beth Sean as we learn about first century Roman culture. This is also the region where Saul and Jonathan were killed in battle and Gideon picked his men to fight the Midianites. From here we visit Megiddo (the Biblical location of the battle of Armageddon) and Mount Carmel where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. We will journey to Caesarea Maritima, former Roman capital of Judea, where the centurion Cornelius heard the Gospel preaching of Peter (Acts 10) and later Paul was imprisoned (Acts 25.26). Our day concludes as we check into our hotel in Jerusalem.

Temple Mount

A Holy City

Welcome to the Holy City of Jerusalem. For the next three days we will walk the ancient alleyways and visit its numerous Biblical sites. Be ready to step back into the first century as we explore our Bible and experience all that Jerusalem and Bethlehem has to offer.

City Of David

No trip to Israel would be complete without experiencing some of the famous archeological sites like the City of David and the Israeli Museum. Experience the tunnel that Hezekiah built to bring water into the city as well as the famous Pool of Siloam. We will conclude our day with some shopping and a visit to the Holocaust museum Yad Vashem.

City of David

Mount of Olives

God’s Plan Revealed

On our last day we will continue to enjoy the amazing sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the Old City of Jerusalem and areas near by as we walk from the Mount of Olives to the place of crucifixion. The evening will conclude with a farewell dinner as we recount our amazing journey and get to say goodbye to our Israeli friends before heading back to the hotel to pack for the flight home.
