Dear Friends,

Travel with us on an exclusive 12-day tour to Israel to discover a remarkable and timeless land. As your small group journeys from the coastal plain to the Jordan Rift Valley, you’ll experience places of beauty and belief, steeped in history.

Begin in vibrant Tel Aviv, where you tour the “White City” district and nearby Jaffa. In the hills of Galilee, stay at a hotel on the grounds of a kibbutz. Continue to Tiberias on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and take a day trip to Nazareth and Safed. Spending the next five nights at the renowned King David Jerusalem hotel, you’ll enjoy an in-depth discovery of the “City of Gold” that includes the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, the Old City, the Western Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as well as an excursion to Masada and the Dead Sea. Explore “rose-red” Petra and the capital city of Amman with an optional 5-day/4-night post-tour Jordan extension.

Space on this exclusive FGCU tour is limited to just 24 guests. We expect this tour to fill quickly, so please call now to reserve your space!

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Tel Aviv, Israel

Day 2: Arrive Tel Aviv We arrive today and transfer to our hotel. As guests’ arrival times may vary greatly, we have no group activities or meals planned and are at leisure to explore or relax as we wish.

Day 3: Tel Aviv Today we encounter the vibrant modern city of Tel Aviv, Israel’s arts and culture capital. Our tour features Independence Hall, where the state of Israel was declared in 1948; the “White City” district of distinctive Bauhaus architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site; and the recently renovated neighbor-hood of Neve Tzedek. We end the day visiting the nearby ancient port of Jaffa. Tonight we enjoy a welcome dinner at our hotel. B,L,D

Day 4: Tel Aviv/Upper Galilee We travel north along the coast today to Caesarea to see the ruins of an ancient Roman amphitheater and harbor. We continue on to the artists’ village of Ein Hod, set amidst olive groves at the foot of Mt. Carmel over-looking the sea. Here we have the opportunity to visit the homes of some local artists and tour their workshops. Then we travel through the hills of Galilee to our hotel on the grounds of a kibbutz adjacent to a national park. Later we visit a working farm. B,D

Day 5: Mount Bental/Tiberias Today begins with a special tour of the kibbutz, followed by a visit to a local winery. We continue on to Mount Bental in the Golan Heights for a panoramic view of Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan. Next: the ruins of Capernaum, where Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath; Tabgha, site of the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes; and Kibbutz Ginosar, where we see the “Jesus Boat” carbon dated to 100 bce. We travel on to Tiberias and our historic hotel on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Important in both Judaism and Christianity, this ancient city has attracted visitors, settlers, and invaders for more than two millennia. B,L,D

Day 6: Tiberias/Nazareth This morning we visit the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. Then the New Testament comes to life as we travel to Jesus’ boyhood home of Nazareth, now a center of Christian pilgrimage. Here
