Our English speaking representative meets you on the Israeli side of the Allenby Bridge. Transfer to Bethlehem in the West Bank to visit  the ancient Church of the Nativity, where one can actually touch the very place where Jesus was born. Built by St. Helena already in the 4th century, it has been an active church and never destroyed ever since! Here St. Hieronymus wrote the first Latin translation of the Bible – the "Volgata". Visit the "Milk Grotto" and the "Shepherds Fields" in Beth-Sahour. Continue to visit Ein Karem, the birth place of John the Baptist. Visit the "St. John in the Mountains" church, built on the place where the house of St. John was standing. Also visit the Church of Visitation, where St. Mary visited Elisabeth. Transfer to Jerusalem .

We start the day with a paoramic view of the Old City from the Mount of Olives. Then to the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church Dominus Flevit. Enter the old city through one of its gates and visit the "Wailing Wall", the last remnants of the Temple in Jerusalem. If the current situation allows it enter the Temple Mount to see the Dome of the Rock (for non-Muslims not allowed to enter). Continue in the footsteps of Jesus along the Stations of the Via Dolorosa, Jesus' "Way of Suffering" ending at the Church of the Holy Sepultures, where Jesus was crucified and buried. Transfer to Jericho, considered as the oldest settlement. Visit Sycamore Tree (Zacharious the tax collector climbed the tree to view Jesus), view of the Mt. of Temptation. Transfer to Allenby Bridge where our service ends.
