The Judean Desert conceals some of the most fascinating sites in the country, which hold great history.

Next, we will visit En-Gedi, the biggest oasis in the Judean Desert. We will enjoy the fresh water there and will hear about David hiding in a cave when fleeing from King Saul.  

We will climb Masada by cable car. This is Herod’s magnificent secret palace, where he hosted noble guests from Rome. During the Jews’ revolt against the Romans, the Jewish zealots also hid in Masada. We will learn how they survived for a long time, having enough food and water, until the Romans destroyed the stronghold.  

We will end the day bathing in the Dead Sea—or, better yet, “floating” on the water.

​The Jezreel Valley is a place of many biblical battles. Here, Deborah defeated the Canaanites. Gideon had a miraculous victory over the Midianites just here and the Philistines killed King Saul in this same valley.

In the Jezreel Valley, King Saul met the medium who foresaw his death the next day. It was also here that Elijah slaughtered the prophets of Baal.

The Jezreel Valley was also the birthplace of Zionist experiments like the kibbutz and moshav. We will visit and learn about those early Zionist settlements.

We will visit Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus became known to his disciples as the Messiah.

Samaria (Shomron), built by King Ahab, was the capital of ancient Israel. The central ridge of mountains in the heart of the country is named after that city. This is the best region in Israel to open the Bible and read the descriptions of what we see. Here are the stories of the Patriarchs and Judges. Here we also find the conquest of Joshua. Biblical stories of the ancient Israelite kings and prophets also took place in this area.

We will visit Shiloh, where the Tabernacle stood for 369 years and where Hannah prayed for a child.

This is a special tour that follows the events of Simchat Torah on October 7th, 2023. It was the most deadly day in the history of the state of Israel.

On that day, 1200 civilians and soldiers were brutally murdered by terrorists from Gaza, and 251 were taken hostage. We will see some sites that tell the story of that horrible day.

We will visit the town of Sderot. It suffered from missiles from Gaza for more than 20 years. The town has an observatory watching the city of Gaza.

We will visit some of the Kibbutzim in the area. Here, we notice the fulfillment of Isaiah’s words: “In the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.” They played a crucial role in defining the state of Israel in 1948. Those communities suffered for many years from terrorists on the other side. They were very badly hurt on that day of October 7th.
