• More experts on the Bible, archaeology, and history than any other tours we know.
• More authentic sites, as opposed to traditional ones.
• More discussions of controversies concerning the Land and the Bible, such as how the Bible is used by archaeologists, dating methods, and the theories about the location of the Second Temple, Golgotha, Mt. Sinai, etc.

Here are some of the sites on our itinerary.

In the north we will visit Caesarea Maritima, Tel Megiddo, Gideon Springs, the Ancient Boat Museum, Magdala, Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Tel Hazor, Tel Dan, Caesarea Phillippi, Mount Bental, and a place where you can be baptized in the Jordan River.

In the Jordan Valley, we will see Beit She’an and Tel Jericho. In the Valley of Elah (think David and Goliath) we will visit an important excavation and have the archaeologist in charge, Dr. Yosef Garfinkel (head of Archaeology at Hebrew University), tell us about his important findings at Khirbet Qeiyafa. 

In Jerusalem, on September 25, we will observe Yom Kippur in Israel. We will also investigate the Western Wall, the City of David excavation, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, the Pool of Siloam, the Pilgrim Road, and the Kidron Valley. Other sights will be the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Pool of Bethesda, the Temple Mount, and the Davidson Center Archaeological Park. We will also visit the Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb, and the Shrine of the Book.

We will descend well below sea level to the Dead Sea. There we will find Masada, Ein Gedi, and Qumran. There will be time to float in the Dead Sea.

Those are only some of the great places we plan to visit; we didn't even mention the Herodium or Mount Gerazim.

This truly is an extraordinary opportunity to learn and grow closer to the Lord.
