Highlights

Itinerary

DAY 1: Amman – Border Crossing – Jerusalem: Mt of Olives & Old City Tour

Pick up from your door in Amman (or elsewhere in Jordan), and transfer to King Hussein / Allenby Bridge Israeli Terminal.

From the border crossing, drive to the Mount of Olives for a wonderful view over Jerusalem.

Continue to the Church of the Pater Noster, where the Lord’s Prayer is displayed on local-style pottery panels in over 100 different languages and dialects.

The traditional Palm Sunday route takes you then past the vast Jewish Cemetery and several other churches and monasteries. At the foot of the mountain, you can stroll through the Garden of Gethsemane with its beautiful ancient olive trees.

Enter the Old City through the Dung gate to visit the Wailing (or Western) Wall, and view the Haram Al Sharif with the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

Walk the Via Dolorosa with its Stations of the Cross till you arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified and buried, and then rose again.

Take some time to explore the bazaars, and leave then the Old City to the west by Jaffa Gate. If time is permitting, you can drive through West Jerusalem and view various landmarks.

 Overnight in Jerusalem.

DAY 2: Jerusalem – Bethlehem – Shepherd’s Field – West Jerusalem

Depart from your hotel to Bethlehem, crossing into the West Bank and stopping at the Separation Wall.

Continue into today’s modern city of Bethlehem to see the Church of the Nativity, believed to be located at the birthplace of Jesus.

Drive to the Shepherd’s Fields in Beit Sahour, which is the place where according to some tradition the angels first announced Jesus’ birth.

After that, return to Jerusalem. If there is time, you can visit a site in the western part of the city, such as the Mahane Yehuda Market, Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Memorial), or the Israel Museum (where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls). Please discuss your preference with your driver or guide, and note that museums may close early on some days.

 Overnight in Jerusalem

DAY 3: Jerusalem – Sea of Galilee: Capernaum, Mt of Beatitudes & Tabgha – Nazareth – Border Crossing – Amman

After breakfast, we will take you North to the Sea of Galilee. Your first stop there is Capernaum, where you can see the remains of the once prosperous fishing village that became the home base of Jesus and his disciples.

Continue to Tabgha, where the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 is said to have happened. Also stop at the Church of the Primacy where Peter was told by Jesus that to continue his work.

Finally drive up to the Mount of Beatitudes, site of the famous Sermon on the Mount. Don’t miss out the monastery’s beautiful gardens.

After enjoying the fantastic views over the lake for a minute, head on to Nazareth. The boyhood village of Jesus is now a bustling city, and at the Church of the Annunciation you will see visitors from all corners of the world. This is also reflected in the décor of the modern building.

There, your tour comes to an end, and we will take you back to the border crossing and then to Amman (or elsewhere in Jordan), where we will drop you off at your preferred location.

 4-Will the Israeli Authorities Stamp My Passport?

The Israeli Authorities current policy is to not stamp passports for tourist visas. Instead, travellers are issued with a personalized printed card. You should make sure to keep this card with you throughout the duration of your stay in Israel. Do not lose it.

 5-Visa Information for Israel/Palestine:
The entry and exit procedures for Israel/Palestine are governed by Israeli state authorities. Here’s what you need to know:
-Citizens from most Western countries can obtain a visa upon arrival at several entry points, including Ben Gurion Airport, Eilat Airport, King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, Sheikh Hussein/Jordan River Crossing, or Wadi Araba/Yitzhak Rabin Crossing. If, however, you require a visa in advance, the application process should be initiated at an Israeli Embassy, typically the one in your home country. Check your eligibility for a visa upon arrival or the need for an advance application here.
-Visas obtained on arrival are typically valid for a period of three months. 
-Important Note: On certain occasions, Israel has denied entry to travellers of Arab ethnicity or Muslim religion, as well as those perceived as activists supporting Palestinian causes. If you fall into any of these categories, anticipate potential delays at the border, and be prepared for extensive questioning.

 6-Visa Information for Jordan (Jordan Pass)
-JORDAN PASS: We recommend you purchase the Jordan Pass – the combined ticket that includes your tourist visa and entrance fees to most tourist sites – it’s the cheapest and easiest option for traveling around Jordan.
-Note: For this option, you must stay in Jordan for a minimum of 3 nights. If you go with this option, you should buy the Jordan Pass online before entering the country.
