Israel: Story of the Land ( 9 Days ) $ 1790

Experience

Home to some of the oldest cities of the world, the story of Israel dates back to several thousands of years, yet its emphatically modern outlook with Jewish, Christian and Muslim influences invokes awe. From cosmopolitan cities complete with bars and high-rise buildings to simple villages, on this journey of Israel, you will encounter the diverse cultures of unique communities such as the Druze, Bedouins and Kibbutz, that will arouse wonder and challenge your perceptions. You will visit sacred and historic sites and discover the varied terrains of chalked cliffs, fertile plains and barren deserts that hold stories dating back to thousands of years. You will go beyond the age-old ramparts of Jerusalem and enjoy a Shabbat meal with a local family and interact with a Rabbi. Most importantly, our included talk by an expert at the start of your trip will give your travel experience a whole new dimension as you piece together the amazing and diverse cultural jigsaw that Israel is.
