Day 3: Caesarea, Megiddo, Mt. Carmel, Nazareth Village, Cana, Galilee

This morning, we depart for the Galilee to visit Biblical sites at Caesarea Maritima, where Peter proclaimed the Good News to the Roman Centurion (Acts 10). We also see Megiddo, overlooking the Valley of Armageddon, and Mt. Carmel, where Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). Time permitting, we will stop at the Druze Village for a short lunch break (not included). Then we continue to Nazareth (Jesus’ childhood home) to visit Nazareth Village, Cana (location of Jesus’ first miracle - John 2) and the Mt. of Precipice.

Day 4: Galilee, Magdala, Mt. of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Boat Ride, Bethsaida, Jordan River

Nothing compares to watching the sun rise over the Sea of Galilee! We begin today at Magdala, where the excavations of a synagogue from the time of Christ can be seen. Next, we visit Tabgha (the traditional site of the feeding of the 5,000), and the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter. We then spend time reflecting and worshiping at the Mt. of Beatitudes and then head to Capernaum, Jesus’ base for His early ministry. Afterwards, we board a replica wooden “Jesus Boat” to set sail on the Sea of Galilee. For those interested, our lunch stop includes the option of ordering the special St. Peter’s Fish (not included). After lunch, we head to Gadara and Bethsaida (time permitting) before making our way to the Jordan River. Dinner and overnight are back in Tiberias.

Day 5: Golan Heights, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan, Gideon Springs, Beit Shean, Jacob’s Well, Jerusalem

After breakfast, we travel north to the Golan Heights for a beautiful view of northern Israel’s landscape. Then we head to Caesarea Philippi where Peter confessed, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:13- 16). We embark on a short hike to Tel Dan to see the altar of Jeroboam before heading south to Gideon’s Spring. Next, we visit Beit Shean, one of the best-preserved Decapolis Roman cities. This is where King Saul and his sons’ bodies were hung from the city walls after being defeated by the Philistines (1 Samuel 31:10-12). On the way to Jerusalem, we will have a stop at Jacob’s Well. Finally, we ascend to the majestic city of Jerusalem in time for dinner and overnight. “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’ Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:1- 2 NASB).

Day 6: Qumran, Ein Gedi, Masada, Dead Sea

After breakfast, we drive to Qumran, the settlement of the Essenes. They were the first century sect who authored the Dead Sea Scrolls. From here, we head to Ein Gedi where David hid from King Saul. We then travel south along the western shore of the Dead Sea toward Masada where we ascend by cable car up to King Herod’s astonishing fortress. Afterwards, we make a stop at the Dead Sea. Time and conditions permitting, we’ll include a visit to Qasr Al-Yahud, the newly excavated site where tradition holds that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. If possible, we will also include a short visit to Jericho. Dinner and overnight are again in Jerusalem.

Day 7: Mt. of Olives, Palm Sunday Road, Garden of Gethsemane, Western Wall, Temple Mount, Via Dolorosa, Southern Steps, Bethlehem, Rabbi’s Tunnel

We begin today on the beautiful Mt. of Olives to behold the breathtaking panorama of the Holy City. Our pilgrimage proceeds down the Old Palm Sunday Road to the ancient olive grove at the Garden of Gethsemane. Then we continue to the Church of the Agony (Church of All Nations) where tradition says Jesus prayed before his arrest. We enter Jerusalem through the Zion Gate and proceed to the Western (Wailing) Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. Beyond the wall lies the 35-acre Temple area purchased by King David (2 Samuel 24:18-25), which is called the Temple Mount. This area is the third holiest shrine in Islam, housing both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the magnificent Dome of the Rock. From the Temple area we make our way to St. Stephen’s Gate to walk the Via Dolorosa – including St. Anne’s Crusader Church, Pools of Bethesda, the Pavement (where Jesus stood while being tried by Pilate), Ecce Homo Arch, and the ancient Cardo. We continue to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and then walk to the Southern Steps – the original steps that Jesus climbed as he entered the Temple area. We finish off our sightseeing with a visit to Bethlehem as we pass by Rachel’s Tomb on the outskirts and then visit the Church of the Nativity and Shepherds’ Field. We have dinner and overnight in Jerusalem. After dinner, we make our way back to the Western Wall for a visit to the Rabbi’s Tunnel.

Day 8: Shrine of the Book, Model City, City of David, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Pool of Siloam, St. Peter Gallicantu, Upper Room, Garden Tomb

After breakfast, we visit the Shrine of the Book Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the fascinating 1:50 scale model of Jerusalem as it would have appeared in Jesus’ time. Next, we drive to the City of David, and then we go on a short walk to Hezekiah’s Tunnel (conditions permitting). Be sure to bring a flashlight and water shoes to walk through the tunnel. Anyone wanting to stay dry can walk through Hezekiah’s shaft. If time permits, we will visit the newly excavated Pool of Siloam and the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu. Then we have a visit to the Upper Room, the proposed site of the Passover dinner. We end our day in worship at Golgotha and the Garden Tomb. Dinner and overnight are in Jerusalem.

Day 9: Shiloh, Bethany, Lazarus’ Tomb, Jerusalem, Farewell Dinner

In the morning, we make our way to Shiloh. Here we revisit the stories of Eli, Samuel, and the Ark (1 Samuel 2-4) and see where the Tabernacle once stood. Then we have a visit to Bethany, home of Mary and Martha, and a stop at Lazarus’ Tomb. We return to Jerusalem in time for lunch. The remainder of the day is at leisure in Jerusalem with time to revisit the places of most interest or return to the Old City where bargaining is a must. We enjoy our farewell dinner together this evening. Overnight is in Jerusalem.
