HOLY LAND

From USD$ 1,042.00

Duration: 5 days
DAY 1:  
  Depart Rome for Tel Aviv. Upon arrival, transfer to Jaffa. This city is connected to the history of the first Christian times: here Peter came to resuscitate Tabità and had the vision in which God invited him to welcome in the Church also the pagans. Visit the Church of St. Peter and continue towards the Galilee, to Nazareth known as “the flower of Galilee”.
DAY 2: Nazareth
  Start the day visiting the Church of the Annunciation and the New Basilica. Continue to the Kibbutz Lavì, where the almost 200 members live a community experience like the first Christians: they work the land; they have all the valuable things in common and pray every day in the Synagogue. Proceed towards Lake of Tiberias’ region to visit the ancient synagogue and home of Simon Peter in Capernaum. Depart to Jericho via the Judean Desert, the most ancient city known today.
DAY 3: Jericho
  In the afternoon depart for Qumran, where in 1947 were discovered the manuscripts known today as the “Dead Sea Scrolls”. Stop at the Dead Sea and enjoy the experience of floating in its waters. View the desert of Wadi Kelt and proceed to Bethlehem.
DAY 4: Bethlehem
  Start the day visiting the Church of the Nativity and the grotto where Jesus was born. Drive to Jerusalem and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on top of the Calvary Hill, located where Jesus was crucified and, not far from there, where he was buried. Stop at the Western Wall and proceed to the Yad Vashem – National Memorial and Museum of the Holocaust.
DAY 5: Bethlehem
