PICK-UP AT ASHDOD, DROP-OFF AT HAIFA

DAY 1 - JERUSALEM
You will be met at the port in Ashdod by your private guide and transferred to Bethlehem to visit the Church of the Nativity. Continue to Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives for an awe inspiring, panoramic view of the city. Walk down the Mount of Olives to the Church of Gethsemane. Long considered one of the most beautiful in Jerusalem, it was called the Church of all Nations because 16 nations contributed to its construction. Enter the Old City through the Dung Gate for a walking tour. See the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism and the only visible remains of the magnificent Second Temple. Walk the Way of the Cross, Via Dolorosa, to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. In 325 AD, Constantine’s mother Helen first requisitioned the area for a church. This 4th century church was largely destroyed by the Turks in 1009 AD, and partially restored in 1048 AD. The impressive stone decorations adorning the facade date from Crusader times. Lunch on route. You will be transferred to your hotel for overnight.

DAY 2 -
Depart Jerusalem and drive to visit Capernaum, where Jesus preached and his disciples Peter and Andrew made their homes. Continue to the Mount of Beatitudes and visit the Church of the Beatitudes and the Church of the Multiplication.
Take a boat on the Sea of Galilee to see the Genosar Boat, a 1st century fishing boat discovered in 1986 when the lake receded to record low levels. Lunch on route.
Continue to Megiddo, the "Hill of Battles," where archaeologists have uncovered 20 civilizations built one upon another. At this site, King Solomon built his vast stables and good King Josiah died in battle. Enjoy the view over the peaceful Jezreel Valley.

Travel Tips

Climate
The climate of Israel is warm and sunny for most of the year. Winters are short but can be cold and rainy. Rainfall is mostly limited to between November and April.
In general, Jerusalem is cooler than Tel Aviv. The hottest areas are those below sea level - the Jordan Valley, the shores of the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea and
the areas around Eilat.

May-October is the ideal time to visit Israel.

Documentation
A current passport, valid for at least six months from your scheduled return date, is the only documentation required of American citizens to enter Israel. If planning to visit any Arab or Muslim states, excluding Egypt and
Jordan, you can request that the Immigration authorities stamp a piece of paper rather than your passport.

Shots
No immunizations are necessary to visit Israel.

Dress
Casual, comfortable clothing is fine for touring. Skirts and slacks or jeans are okay anywhere. In the winter, you’ll need a medium weight coat and a cardigan or pullover should be packed for possibly chilly summer evenings. Pack things you can layer. Midday and afternoon can be considerably warmer than mornings and evenings.

Religious sites are not open to anyone dressed immodestly; men and women must cover their legs and shoulders. Arms must be covered in all mosques
and temples. Men must cover their heads in Jewish places of worship.

Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes are a must. Bring an old pair of sneakers or water shoes for walking
on the rocky sea bed of the Dead Sea.

Bring sunglasses and a sun hat.

Currency
The currency of Israel is the New Shekel and it is divided into 100 Argorot. Money can be changed at banks and in hotels. Many Israelis will talk in terms of American dollars when quoting prices. Most major credit cards are accepted in Israel.

Electricity
The electric current is 110-240 volts. Wall plugs are the round, two pronged European type
