through a land familiar to Bible scholars everywhere, beginning with a boat journey to Caper-naum where Jesus recruited his first disciples, then Tabgha, site of the miracle of ‘the Feeding of the 5000’, beneath the Mount of the Beatitudes, from which the Sermon on the Mount was preached.

After a fascinating day, you’ll return to Tiberias in time for dinner. Day Four Another extraordinary
day begins with a journey south, passing the site where John the Baptist anointed Christ, and the ancient town of Jericho, en route to the other worldly Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth.

Day Five A guided introductory tour
lifts the veil on one of the world’s most fascinating places, as you drive first to the Mount of Olives for a panoramic view of the city skyline, much changed since Christ stood on the same spot, close to the Garden of Gethsemane, but still a mesmerising, stirring sight.
Entering the city through the ancient Lion’s Gate, you’ll walk the Via Dolorosa with its Stations of the Cross, to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, site of the Crucifixion. Visits to the Western Wall, beneath the equally sacred Dome of the Rock, and to the Garden Tomb that was found empty on the first Easter morning, complete a truly fascinating day. Day Six Board the coach this morning
for the short drive out of the city to Bethlehem, to visit Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity. One of the Holy Land’s oldest churches, the church, as well as the underground ‘grotto’ in which Mary is said to have borne the baby Jesus, boasts several relics and centuries-old fragments of mosaics. Returning to Jerusalem via the ‘Shepherds’ Fields’ where the angels are said to have announced Christ’s birth, you’ll pay visits to the moving Yad Vashem holocaust memorial and to the Shrine of the Book, housing the historically priceless Dead Sea Scrolls recovered from a cave near ancient Masada.
