srael is a very small country, with the sea
on one side and the desert on the other, but
never has such a small place meant so much
to so many. To millions of Jews, Christians and
Muslims this is the Holy Land where King
David ruled, Jesus died and Muhammad
visited. As we visit places we’ve heard about
all our lives, and see the ruins scattered
throughout the country by the Greeks,
Romans, Crusaders and Turks, we will be
thrilled by the rush of history we encounter.
Israel today is a modern, progressive country
where English is spoken everywhere. The
warm, friendly people have come to Israel from
over 100 countries, producing a potpourri of
custom and dress that is reflected in the
panorama of everyday life.
These diverse cultures and beliefs co-exist in a
land full of scenic contrasts. There are
mountains, subtropical valleys, lovely beaches,
fertile farmland and deserts. Furthermore,
everywhere you look there is the abundance of
flowers that Israel is renowned for.
The highlight of our visit here will be the
Golden City of Jerusalem, sacred to
Christians, Jews and Muslims alike. With all of
the excavations of the past few years, the City
of Peace has never looked more aweinspiring.
This tour also includes Jordan, a fascinating
country with spectacular ancient cities,
dramatic landscapes and a sophisticated,
cosmopolitan capital - Amman. In Jordan we
will take in the most important sights including
the awe-inspiring Rose City of Petra, the
majestic cliffs of Wadi Rum and the ancient city

of Jerash - one of the best preserved

world. We will also explore the dramatic
beauty of the rocky escarpments, high fertile
plateaus and incredible desert scenery.
Jordan is truly an incredible place to visit.
