Highlights tour
The journey is anchored by the spiritual heart of Jerusalem, where you will walk the Via Dolorosa, stand at the Western Wall, and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The trail continues through the Galilee to explore the ancient synagogue of Capernaum, the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, and the Crusader fortress of Acre. In Jordan, the experience reaches its peak with a full-day exploration of Petra, navigating the narrow Siq to witness the magnificent Treasury. From the moving galleries of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial to the panoramic heights of Mount Nebo where Moses viewed the Promised Land, this tour captures the most significant milestones of human faith and ancient empire-building.
