1. Jerusalem

The city of Jerusalem is a destination that you definitely should include in your Holy Land Private Tours list.

Such places include Jerusalem Old City, Mount Of Olives, Garden Of Gethsemane, Mount Zion, City Of David, the Knesset – Israel’s parliament, Yad Vashem Memorial Museum, Machane Yehuda Market, and Jaffa street, as well as Temple Mount.

Additionally, Jerusalem is considered holy to Jewish, Muslims, and Christian.

As a result, pilgrims will find many important landmarks to pay a visit such as the wailing wall in Jerusalem’s old city, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Stations of the Cross.

2. Nazareth

The second most recommended Holy land private tours destination is Nazareth, the largest city in the Northern District of Israel and the hometown of Christ.

Many pilgrims and tourists visit Nazareth for its religious significance making it a perfect destination for Holy land private tour!

Christian pilgrim must visit the following locations:

  • The Church of the Annunciation – the largest Catholic church in the Middle East which marks the site where the Archangel Gabriel announced the future birth of the son of god to the Virgin (Luke 1:26–31).
  • The Church of St. Gabriel – the alternative site for the Annunciation according to the Greek tradition which is located by the only water spring in the city .
  • The Synagogue Church – Greek Catholic Church which is located at the traditional site of the synagogue where Jesus preached and read from the book of Isaiah .
  • The St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church marks the traditional location for the workshop of Saint Joseph.

3. Bethlehem

Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, is also a very unique town in the Holy Land that you should consider adding to your list.

This Palestinian city, which is located in the west bank, serves as the center of Christianity in the Holy Land.

It is a very unique destination to visit, especially during Christmas time when the city celebrates the Holiday with great festivals, masses, and Parades.

Its sacred importance to Christianity attracts thousands of pilgrims every year.

On the other hand, many tourists to the Holy Land will find Bethlehem(along with some other places) intimidating to visit.

This is due to the complex transportation system between Israel and Palestine and the need to pass border checkpoints.

Nevertheless, when visiting Bethlehem with us, all of those arrangments and convenient transport will be provided.

During our Holy Land Private tours, you can visit Bethlehem either during a Christian tour or a combination of two cities(such as our Bethlehem and Herodium tour or Bethlehem and Jericho Tour, it’s also the source of olive wood carvings and a great place to shop.

4. Haifa

On the slope of Mount Carmel, lays the beautiful city of Haifa , third largest city in Israel,  an ancient port city which traces it’s origins all the way to the late Bronze age.

Many civilizations shaped the city over the milleniums including the Canaanites, Hebrews, Persians, Ottomans, and Europeans granting its diverse culture and landscape.

When visiting Haifa, the following don’t forget to innclud the following sites in your travel list:

  • The Baha’i gardens – A sacred gardens to the Baha’i faith overlooking the bay of Haifa.
