What You’ll Experience
We journey first to the Negev desert in the steps of the Patriarchs, ending our first day with a short camel ride. We visit two other wilderness areas with significant historic features, ending in Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.
We’ll learn historic features of many Bible stories as we visit the Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Northern Israel, and of course, Jerusalem, where we see several important sites such as the Pool of Bethesda, Gethsemane, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. We’ll participate in a Jewish Seder (Passover) Meal on our last night before we leave.
