JERUSALEM AND JESUS TRAIL WALKING TOURS
5th - 13th November 2023
ISRAEL UNCOVERED
Uncovering the Heart of Jerusalem and Walking the Jesus Trail in Galilee
Accommodation in Jerusalem
We will be based in Jerusalem at the Salesian Monastery, a peaceful and serene retreat close to the Old City. This will provide us with the perfect base to explore the city and deepen our understanding of its rich history and spiritual significance.
What's involved?
The tour provides breakfast and accommodation in twin rooms. You are responsible for paying for your lunch and dinner**. This allows you to eat as much or as little as you would like at the restaurant or cafe of your choice.
Much walking is involved, so you will need to be physically fit. However, for those who are able, the rewards are immeasurable. You will come away from this experience with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Jerusalem, its spirituality, and its historical place. So, join us on this unforgettable journey and uncover the heart of Jerusalem for yourself.
** Allow approximately $20 per meal for meals you have to pay for.
Train Transfer from Ben Gurion to Jerusalem runs hourly, takes 26min, and costs approximately 18 Shekels.
Transfer from Tiberias to Ben Gurion Airport: Two minibuses will run Monday.
On Friday afternoon, we will drive to the Oasis, a French hostel in Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. We will share a Shabbat meal. Saturday and Sunday, we will walk a section of the Jesus trail. This will give us a unique opportunity to experience the landscape and culture of the region where Jesus lived and traveled. As we walk through the rolling hills and beautiful landscapes, we will gain a deeper appreciation for the teachings and miracles of Jesus and their role in shaping the world as we know it today.
Jesus Trail
Walking the Jesus Trail is not only a physically exhilarating experience but also a profoundly spiritual one. We will visit some of the most significant sites in the life of Jesus, including Capernaum, Tabgha, and the Sea of Galilee. As we walk in the footsteps of Jesus, we will better understand the significance of these places and their role in shaping His ministry. The second section of the trail has us walking down Mount Arbel. Please note that the way down includes coming down some small ladders.
