Why Now Is the Right Time to Visit the Holy Land
For many Christians around the world, a visit to the Holy Land is a spiritual milestone and should not be seen as merely a trip. It is where the pages of scripture meet real places, where ancient stories come alive under your very feet. And if you have been waiting for the right time to go, that time is now.
After months of travel uncertainty, Israel is once again welcoming visitors. Many flights have resumed trips to Tel Aviv, and once again, the country is opening its doors to tourists with renewed hope. For those whose travel plans were previously postponed, this is a reminder to begin planning anew and revisit those aspirations!
Is It Safe? Yes, it is!
Israel remains one of the safest destinations to explore. But just like many other nations, it also experiences periods of regional tension. However, the notion of waiting for a moment of perfect peace may ultimately delay or prevent the experience altogether.
There is no perfect peace in history. There has always been conflict in one form or another. And if one waits for things to be completely safe here, they may miss the chance to ever experience it. This is the safest time to come.
A Journey of Faith and Understanding
This Holy Land tour offers more than historic landmarks. It is a meaningful engagement with both past and present realities. Alongside visits to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Sea of Galilee, the itinerary has been specially curated in light of recent events.
Travelers may have the opportunity to understand the conflict and to understand what’s going on between Palestine and Israel. To meet the people affected by this tension and hear stories from those displaced by conflict. It is a journey that will build connection, compassion, and deeper context. It is a pilgrimage rooted in solidarity, understanding, and spiritual growth at the very sites where faith was born.
The Holy Land tours are led by our Christian tour guides in Israel and experts on the Land’s historical, cultural, scenic, and spiritual history so you can experience the history of the Holy Land.
Our Christian tour guides can go back and forth easily to the West Bank area like Bethlehem, Jericho, Samaria, and other places, and you don’t need to switch any driver or guide.
Here are some of the things to do and see on the Christian tours to the Holy Land:
Highlights of the Journey
Whether one is planning an extended pilgrimage or a brief, reflective visit, the itinerary offers both flexibility and depth. Our thoughtfully curated itinerary blends spiritual significance with historical insight and natural wonder. Highlights include:
1. Jerusalem: The Heart of the Holy Land
Few cities hold the spiritual weight of Jerusalem. Along the Via Dolorosa, pilgrims retrace the final steps of Christ, pausing to pray in the quiet of the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus spent His final hours before the Passion.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre believed to be the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, brings visitors into the heart of Christian tradition. Nearby, the peaceful Garden Tomb is a contemplative space for prayer and reflection.
2. Bethlehem: The Birthplace of Christ
In Bethlehem, pilgrims step into the Church of the Nativity, revered as the site of Jesus’ birth, and experience the warmth of a Christian community that continues to welcome visitors with grace and hospitality.
3. The Sea of Galilee: Where Faith Came Alive
Sailing across the gentle waters of the Sea of Galilee, many find a renewed connection to scripture. The journey includes visits to Capernaum, Tabgha, and Magdala, key sites of Jesus’ ministry, and the Mount of Beatitudes, for prayer and reflection, where the Sermon on the Mount still echoes in the wind.
4. The Jordan River (Yardenit)
At the banks of the Jordan River, pilgrims can take part in a symbolic baptism or simply sit in stillness where Jesus is believed to have been baptized by John the Baptist. The setting is serene and humble, yet powerful, inviting a moment of personal renewal.
5. The Dead Sea: A Natural Wonder
After days of spiritual exploration, the Dead Sea offers a different kind of reflection. Floating in its mineral-rich waters, visitors experience both physical lightness, healing properties, and quiet introspection. It’s nature’s retreat, serene, healing, and unforgettable.
6. Jordan Extension
For those continuing into Jordan, the journey takes a prophetic turn from Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have glimpsed the Promised Land, to the inspiring sandstone city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This extension offers history, grandeur, and a sense of timelessness.

Highest recommendations to use Holy Land VIP Tours! Our family of five wanted to visit Jerusalem and surrounding Christian sites but wanted to be on our own, without a large travel group.
We traveled with Holy Land VIP tours and Daniel was our guide. We felt very safe, and our accommodations were excellent. We were able to visit all of the Christian Holy Land Sites.
Daniel was able to take us to all the places we wanted to go and enable us to get into many places because he knew someone! He is very knowledgeable and accurate in the places.
Daniel and his Holy Land VIP Tours team were superb in all regards. We had a customized and flexible 7-day tour of Israel, including the northern coast, Galilee, Golan, etc.
