DAY 1
Our guide will await you at the Allenby bridge Terminal / Ben Gurion International Airport or Taba border, and lead you to our luxury tour bus
Now we ascend to Al Quds – the Holy City Jerusalem, where we will have an extensive tour of Al Haram esh-Sharif, learning about its historical & architectonical background, as well as the many legends told about the holy Al Aqsa Mosque & The Dome of the Rock, “whose precincts We did bless” (Al Qur’an el Kareem, Sura 17, verse 1)
We will also visit the Underground Mosque below the Al Aqsa, just newly opened to the public, as well as the Marawani Mosque
Further in the Old City we will visit the Wailing (Western) Wall in the Jewish Quarter, as well as the Church of Resurrection, where the Prophet Issa was crucified and buried, and the Omar Mosque built in front of its entrance, at the place where the victorious Omar prayed upon entering the Holy City
Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem
DAY 2
Drive to Hebron, also named Al-Khalil after the prophet Ibrahim. Here we will not miss the Ibrahimi Mosque (Haram el Khalil) – a sanctuary built already some 2000 years ago on the burial place of Ibraim el Khalil, Isaac, Jacob (Nabi Yaakub) and their spouses. We will also seize this opportunity to pray at this holy place. Hebron is also known for its glass-blowers
Then we drive to Bethlehem, to visit the famous Church of the Nativity, where e-Nabi Issa was born
Before returning to our hotel, we ascend the Mount of Olives, with its panoramic view over the Old City of Jerusalem, Maqam (Sanctuary) Rabeiah-el-Adawiyah and Suleiman el-Farsi

DAY 3
After checkout, on our way down to the border, visit the site of Nebi Moussa, where a medieval tradition places the tomb of Nabi Moussa(Moses).
