The Classic 10-Day Itinerary: Day-by-Day Journey of Faith

This comprehensive journey is divided into four distinct phases: It begins along the Mediterranean Coast, connecting you to the prophetic roots and early apostolic travels. We then move north to the Galilee where the Gospels come to life. The itinerary then continues south through the dramatic, prophetic landscapes of the Dead Sea and Negev Desert, and culminates in Jerusalem with an intensive focus on the Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ. Every step is an opportunity for personal renewal.

Do you want to tour right from your arrival at the airport or do you want to rest on the first day and tour from day 2

Many groups plan a late arrival in Israel on their first day (16:00pm – 23:00pm), stay over night near Tel Aviv, then begin touring the following day – they also plan for a late departure on their last day (so they can tour all day before flying home).  Others, who want to reduce the price of a tour, plan for a very early arrival on day 1 and then tour all day before checking into a hotel on their first night.  On the final day they also tour all day and then leave on a late flight home – this saves on 2 extra nights accommodation.  What is your preference?
