Jerusalem and Bethlehem Day Trip

Itinerary

Around seven in the morning, we will pass by your hotel to collect you and begin our 9-hour trip.

You will see the magnificent panorama of Jerusalem from the summit of the Mount of the Olives. Then, we will go down to the old city to decipher the enigmas of the Armenian neighbourhood. From here we head into the Jewish quarter to visit the Western Wall and learn more about the history of the ancient temple of Jerusalem.

Inside the Christian quarter, we will stroll along the Via Dolorosa towards the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Here you will witness the artistic works that are in homage to the suffering and resurrection of Christ.

When we have finished the tour of Jerusalem, we will climb back the bus and drive to Bethlehem where we visit the Basilica of the Nativity. It was here, in one of its subterranean grottos, where Jesus Christ was born. The basilica is located next to Manger Square, scene of Adoration of the three Kings who followed the Star of Bethlehem. This star also appeared in the Shepherd's Field, where we will find a shrine to the first annunciation of the birth of Christ.

After visiting Bethlehem, we will start our return bus trip to your hotel in Tel Aviv, arriving at the end of the evening.
