<p style="text-align:justify;">The tour begins at the Mount of Olives with a breathtaking panoramic view over Jerusalem. Then we continue on to the Byzantine Cardo, an ancient main road that runs through the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. We'll take a look at the Wailing Wall (Kotel) and then follow the sacred route Jesus took carrying his cross along the Way of Sorrows (Via Dolorosa). We stop at several of the Stations of the Cross and reach the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher where Jesus was crucified and where his burial tomb is located. We stroll through the Christian and Muslim quarters' bazaars, then leave Jerusalem and make our way to Bethlehem.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Our primary focus in Bethlehem is the Church of the Nativity where Jesus was born and we also visit Saint Catherine Church, the Milk Grotto where Mary nursed baby Jesus, and Shepherds Fields where "Shepherds watched their flocks by night…"</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Day 1 - <b>Jerusalem &amp; Bethlehem</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our journey begins at the Mount of Olives overlooking the ancient Jewish cemetery where it is believed that the resurrection will begin when the Messiah comes (Zech 14:4). From this elevated location we can see across the Old City and down to the Temple Mount where the holy Jewish Temple once stood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We continue on towards the Zion Gate by driving through the Kidron Valley where we see the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations and the Jewish burial tombs of Absalom, King David's son, Jehoshaphat and the Hezir family (benei Hazir). At the Zion Gate we enter Jerusalem's Old City and make our way through the Armenian Quarter. Then we follow the 1,500 year old excavated Byzantine Cardo which has been restored and is now home to modern shops which line a section of the ancient road.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We carry on through the Jewish Quarter and on to the Western Wall which was part of the supporting wall of the Temple Mount when the second holy Jewish Temple that stood on the expanded hill almost 2,000 years ago.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We then walk where Jesus once walked the Way of Sorrows along the Via Dolorosa, as thousands of pilgrims do each year. We stop at several of the Stations of the Cross where Jesus stopped briefly as he carried his cross to Golgotha (Calvary). The final station on this Way of Sorrows is at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where Christ was crucified and where his burial tomb is located. The Basilica was constructed during the Byzantine Era and underwent renovations and reconstruction over the years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before we leave the Old City we meander through the typically Middle Eastern markets and then set off for Bethlehem, the city of Christ's birth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We arrive in the City of Bread, Bethlehem, which was home to Jesse, King David's father as well as being Christ's birthplace (Matthew 2:1). From Manger Square we enter the 4<sup>th</sup> century Church of the Nativity which is the oldest church in Israel still in use. Beneath the church is the Grotto of the Nativity where a star indicates the place where Jesus was born. Also in the Orthodox Church are the Manger and an alter dedicated to the Three Wise Men. This is the place where the well known story of Christmas night took place and a visit here is a moving experience for all Christians.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Church of the Nativity was neglected for centuries following the expulsion of the Crusaders, it also was damaged by an earthquake and fire. However during the British Mandate and more recently under Israeli authority the church has been restored and repaired.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the way out of the church we see the Armenian Chapel of the Kings or Magi and we visit the Crusader Church. From the Church of St. Catherine we go down into a two room cave which joins the Grotto of the Nativity. It was here that Saint Jerome spent 30 years translating the Hebrew Bible into the Latin version called The Vulgate. This is the perfect place for us to take a moment and sing some Christmas carols.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the Franciscan Church we see the Milk Grotto where Mary fed baby Jesus and a drop of milk fell onto the stone turning the grotto white.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Luke 2:8-11 we read of an angel appearing to shepherds who were tending their sheep in a nearby field. We stop to see Shepherds Field, and the contemporary Church of the Angels designed by Antonio Berluzzi with panels retelling the story of Jesus' early life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On our way back towards Jerusalem we pass the Field of Ruth. Here Ruth, King David's great grandmother, worked in the fields of Boaz. (Ruth 2:1).</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;"></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Day 2- <b>Masada &amp; the Dead Sea </b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We begin our journey by taking the route down from Jerusalem descending below sea level through the Biblical wilderness towards the Dead Sea. On the way we can see the Inn of the Good Samaritan and stop on route to look out across the desert as we pass the point marking "sea level." The ancient city of Jericho can be seen in the distance where Joshua's troops caused the walls to fall (Joshua 6) and where Jesus healed the blind (Mark 10:46-52).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We reach the shores of the Dead Sea encrusted with white salt and follow the shoreline towards Masada. Although it's possible to climb the ancient snake path up Masada as the Romans did 2,000 years ago, we take the convenient cable car up to the mountain top plateau. It was here that King Herod built a fortified palace complete with every convenience including a swimming pool, water cisterns, two palaces, store rooms and even a synagogue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following Herod's death the mountain top was the last outpost of Jewish zealots when the Romans tried to rid the land of Jews. The Jewish zealots maintained their position for three years before the Romans finally managed to scale Masada using a ramp built by slaves. The 960 Jews didn't wait for the Romans to successfully reach the summit. Instead they killed themselves becoming religious martyrs. Shortly afterwards the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70CE.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was on Masada that the first parchment from this era was discovered in an Israeli archaeological excavation.  On the parchment was the prophecy of Ezekiel "…I will take the children of Israeli from among the nations…and bring them into their own land…" (Ezekiel 37).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Heading back to the Dead Sea we pass the desert oasis of Ein Gedi where there is lush foliage and hidden waterfalls and where David hid from angry King Saul. We also pass by Qumran were the 2,000 year old Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in a number of hillside caves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To end off a perfect day we stop at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and a contender for the title of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People come from across the globe to enjoy the therapeutic mineral rich waters. And don't worry if you don't know how to swim - the high salt content will keep you afloat.</p>

Classical Gems of Israel 10 Day Package Tour

the-old-city-walls-of-acre-crd-bhm-108.jpg

<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Day 1 -&nbsp;<strong>Jerusalem Old &amp; New</strong></h2><p style="text-align:justify;">On the first day of this tour, we will visit Mount Olives, Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum, and the Old City of Jerusalem where we will see the Byzantine Cardo, the Kotel, the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, the Stations of the Cross and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">As we stand above the Jewish cemetery on Mount of Olives we see the Old City and the Temple Mount where Solomon’s Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, and the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, once stood.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Below us is the garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations in the Kidron Valley with its ancient Jewish burial tombs.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Entering the Old City through the Zion Gate we pass the Armenian Quarter on our way to the Jewish Quarter and the fifteen-year-old Byzantine Cardo. Partially destroyed and unused during the Moslem conquest, it had a brief new lease of life during the Crusader period. The excavated Crusader shops are now modern stores.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">We stop at the Kotel, the Western Wall where Jews have prayed since the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Built by King Herod it was a supporting wall enclosing the enlarged Temple Mount area.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The Via Dolorosa, also known as the Way of the Cross, is the route many pilgrims follow on their way to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the church built over the place of the crucifixion of Jesus and the burial tomb. Although the Byzantine church was partially destroyed during the Persians and Moslem conquests, the rebuilt and redesigned Crusader Church preserved much of the earlier church.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">We exit the Old City via the market and the Jaffa Gate for a short tour of the new city. A visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum, reveals artifacts and photographs documenting the discrimination, persecution, and finally the annihilation of the Jewish communities of Europe. It also remembers those righteous among the nations who risked their lives while trying to save Jews.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 style="text-align:justify;">Day 2 - <strong>Masada &amp; the Dead Sea</strong></h3><p style="text-align:justify;">We begin our journey by taking the route down from Jerusalem descending below sea level through the Biblical wilderness towards the Dead Sea. On the way, we can see the Inn of the Good Samaritan and stop on route to look out across the desert as we pass the point marking "sea level." The ancient city of Jericho can be seen in the distance where Joshua's troops caused the walls to fall (Joshua 6) and where Jesus healed the blind (Mark 10:46-52).</p><p style="text-align:justify;">We reach the shores of the Dead Sea encrusted with white salt and follow the shoreline towards Masada. Although it's possible to climb the ancient snake path up Masada as the Romans did 2,000 years ago, we take the convenient cable car up to the mountaintop plateau. It was here that King Herod built a fortified palace complete with every convenience including a swimming pool, water cisterns, two palaces, store rooms, and even a synagogue.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Following Herod's death, the mountaintop was the last outpost of Jewish zealots when the Romans tried to rid the land of Jews. The Jewish zealots maintained their position for three years before the Romans finally managed to scale Masada using a ramp built by slaves. The 960 Jews didn't wait for the Romans to successfully reach the summit. Instead, they killed themselves becoming religious martyrs. Shortly afterwards the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70CE.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">It was on Masada that the first parchment from this era was discovered in an Israeli archaeological excavation.&nbsp; On the parchment was the prophecy of Ezekiel "…I will take the children of Israeli from among the nations… and bring them into their own land…" (Ezekiel 37).</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Heading back to the Dead Sea we pass the desert oasis of Ein Gedi where there is lush foliage and hidden waterfalls and where David hid from angry King Saul. We also pass by Qumran where the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in a number of hillside caves.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">To end off a perfect day we stop at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and a contender for the title of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People come from across the globe to enjoy the therapeutic mineral-rich waters. And don't worry if you don't know how to swim, the high salt content will keep you afloat.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="/tour-categories/tours-in-jerusalem-en/">All Jerusalem tours &gt;&gt;</a>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="/tour-categories/dead-sea-and-masada-en/">All Masada and Dead Sea Tours &gt;&gt;</a></p>
