Day 7: Tiberias/Jerusalem On our way to Jerusalem today we stop at the archaeological site of Beit
Shean, where ongoing excavations have revealed
the ruins of numerous cities dating as far back as
the 4th century BCE. We travel on to Jerusalem, the
3,000-year-old “City of Gold,” sacred to the world’s
three major monotheist religions. We get our first
look from a panoramic lookout on Mt. Scopus. After
lunch at a local restaurant, we get acquainted with the
New City, dating from the late 19th century. Then
we spend the afternoon at the Israel Museum, the
nation’s leading cultural institution, whose treasures
include the Dead Sea Scrolls, Shrine of the Book, a
unique sculpture garden, and a scale model of Jerusalem from the Second Temple era. B,L
Day 8: Jerusalem Our day begins with a tour of
Yad Vashem, Israel’s living memorial to the Holocaust
set on a 45-acre site on the Mount of Remembrance.
Then we travel to the Judean Hills to the picturesque
village of Ein Karem, where we enjoy an ethnic cook-
ing class followed
by lunch served
with local Israeli
wines. We return
to Jerusalem’s
New City to
absorb some
of the flavor
of this multi-
cultural enclave
at the bustling
outdoor market
of Machane
Yehuda (“Shuk”),
encountering
local residents as
they shop. Our
last stop of the day
is the Haas Promenade overlooking Jerusalem for
spectacular panoramic views of the city. The remain-
der of the afternoon and evening is at leisure – or
we may choose to join in a complimentary optional
excursion to Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of
Jesus. Dinner tonight is on our own. B,L
Day 9: Jerusalem This morning we visit Jerusalem’s
Old City for a tour of the excavated tunnels beneath
the Western Wall. Then we visit the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher, traditional site of Golgotha where
Jesus is believed to have been crucified and buried.
The remainder of the day is then free to explore
Jerusalem independently or return to the hotel. B
Day 10: Jerusalem/Old City We return to the Old
City today, starting at the original settlement of the
City of David, dating to at least the Middle Bronze
Age of 1800 to 1550 BCE. Our guide gives us an
in-depth account of Jerusalem’s role throughout
history before we embark on a walking tour through
the Old City: the Jewish Quarter; the ancient Cardo
marketplace still in use today; and the Western Wall,
sacred to Jews as the last remaining trace of the wall
that enclosed and supported the Second Temple
on the Temple Mount. Tonight we dine at a local
restaurant. B,L,D
Day 11: Jerusalem/Masada/Dead Sea Today we
travel to the shores of the Dead Sea to explore the
Qumran Caves, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were
discovered between 1947 and 1956. We continue
on to the ruins at Masada, the celebrated mountain
stronghold (and UNESCO site) where outnumbered
Jews held out against a three-year Roman siege in
the first century CE then committed suicide rather
than surrender. We ascend the mountain fortress
by cable car to tour the ruins, overlooking the Dead
Sea. Then we have the opportunity to swim in the
Dead Sea at a hotel beach with indoor and outdoor pools before lunch together at the hotel. We
celebrate our Israel adventure tonight over a farewell
dinner at our hotel. B,L,D
Day 12: Depart Tel Aviv for U.S. Very early this
morning we transfer by motorcoach to Tel Aviv for
our connecting flights to the United States. B
