We are really looking forward to taking another group to Israel which has such a unique history.
For the first five Days we will be staying in Jerusalem
at the Austrian Hospice which is in the heart of the Old City. A superb base for all of our activities. We will then travel up the Jordan Valley via Jericho to Tiberias where we will stay at the Nof Ginosar Kibbutz Hotel which is situated in a stunning position on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Another ideal base for our very varied programme.
This is so much more than a mere sightseeing trip. We will be accompanied by a guide who is a Jewish Christian and therefore well able to appreciate the Bible in its entirety. Throughout our tour we will be visiting many places frequented by Jesus and we will listen to his anointed teaching in situ. Bible teaching at its best with an extra dimension!
Our aim is to make this tour really enjoyable and most importantly to enhance your Bible reading and spiritual understanding.
