The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea or Yam Ha-Melakh (the Sea of Salt) is a landlocked salt lake between Israel and Jordan. The lake’s elevation is the lowest of any body of water on the planet. The lake’s salty waters are renowned for their myriad health benefits and natural buoyancy.

Masada
This ancient stone fortress in Israel sits high on a rocky mesa above the Dead Sea. Here 960 Judean rebels held out against 8,000 Roman soldiers for three years. The site is now a UNESCO World Heritage site due to the historical significance of its well-preserved ruins.

Sea of Galilee
This freshwater lake in Israel fed by the Jordan river is famous for its association with the Bible as the place where Jesus performed two miracles: walking on water and the Feeding of the Multitude. It is the lowest freshwater lake in the world and the second-lowest lake in the world (second only the Dead Sea).
Sail the Sea of GalileeHoly Sites in Jerusalem
It is impossible to overstate the religious importance of this ancient city. One of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem is a sacred place for all three major Abrahamic religions. Jerusalem has been sacred to Judaism since King David proclaimed it his capital. For Christians, Jerusalem features prominently in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. For Sunni Muslims, Jerusalem is the third holiest city, as it is where Mohammad ascended to Heaven.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church in the old city of Jerusalem and marks the two holiest sites in Christendom: the place where Jesus was crucified at Calgary and the empty tomb where he was buried and resurrected. Today, the tomb is enclosed by a shrine called the Aedicula.

Mount of Olives and Garden of Gethsemane
Like so many places in Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives is holy to all three Abrahamic faiths. It features prominently in the New Testament and is home to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed before being betrayed by Judas. It is also the place where Jesus ascended into heaven.

Temple Mount & the Dome of the Rock
The Temple Mount (or Har Habayit) is the elevated plaza above the Western Wall. For Judaism, it is traditionally the place where Abraham took his son Isaac to be sacrificed and was the site of both ancient Jewish temples. For Islam, the Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock are sacred because they commemorate Muhammad’s ascension into heaven.

The Western Wall
The Western Wall or the Wailing Wall, is the only remaining exterior wall of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. It is the most religious site in the world for Jewish people. Visitors to the wall pray and wedge petitions into the cracks of the wall.

What is a Holy Land tour?
Holy land tours encompass a wide range of tours that typically visit important religious sites that hold significance for the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Our tours to Israel, Jordan and Egypt start from about $1,300 to $9,900. The cost of the tour is determined by the duration (6-25 days) and operator of the trip. Our tours include most meals, included sightseeing and more.
What is the best time of year to visit the Holy Land?
There's no bad time to visit the Holy Land but we generally recommend visiting in the Spring as temperatures are milder. It is also important to check to see if there's a religious holiday set for the time you'd like to visit.
What should I wear when visiting religious sites?
It’s a good idea to dress modestly when visiting religious sites. That typically means avoid wearing shorts, short skirts, tops with short sleeves or exposed shoulders or tops that don’t cover your midriff. At Jewish religious sites men may be required to cover their heads with a Kippa (skull cap) or simple cap.
