Bethlehem and Jerusalem Tour- From Jerusalem

Go on a journey through some of the most historically and culturally significant sites in the Holy land, with our Bethlehem and Jerusalem tour. This is more than just an ordinary tour; it is a journey through generations, linking the birthplace of Jesus to the focal point of various crucial religious incidents.

Our tour begins in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus according to Christian tradition. You will visit the Church of the Nativity, an iconic basilica that stands as a sentinel of faith, believed to be built over the cave where Jesus was born. 

Later, we invite you to discover the Walled Off Hotel, a unique establishment created by British street artist Banksy, positioned close to the barrier wall separating Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. You will have some free time to independently explore the wall and the hotel. Do note that the hotel entrance fee is 20 NIS.

Departing from Bethlehem, we proceed directly to the ancient city of Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Here, we navigate the alleys and significant sites that reflect the city’s diverse history.

We’ll start at Mount Zion which provides an essential look into Jewish, Christian, and Muslim history, with the Tomb of King David as well as the Room of the Last Supper, and the. We’ll continue at the Western Wall, the center of Judaism and follow the footsteps of the Via Dolorosa, the path believed to be taken by Christ carrying the cross to his crucifixion, bringing us to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This ancient church stands as a testament to Christ’s passion, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, marking it as one of the most momentous Christian sites.

Throughout this Bethlehem and Jerusalem tour, the intertwining stories of these religious traditions come alive, painting a vivid picture of their shared histories and distinct paths.
