Israel Essential Culture Tour

Welcome to your cultural trip trough Israel! Upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, you will board the train directly to Jerusalem and make your way through the ochre-colored landscape. Once in Jerusalem and checked into your hotel, you will spend the rest of the day marveling at the religious hustle and bustle of Christians, Muslims, and Jews - either on foot or by tramway. Our in-house English-speaking audio guide will help you explore the Old City and provide you with plenty of historical context and culinary tips. Currently, the following tours are available in our app: the Government District Tour, the Jerusalem by Night Tour, the Jewish Quarter Tour, the Mount of Olives Tour, the Old City "Must See" Tour, and the Old City "in-depth" Tour. We believe the Jewish Quarter Tour is a perfect fit for you.

Culture is culinary. You will start your first day in Israel with a real Israeli breakfast and time travel through the 3000-year history of Jerusalem at the Jerusalem Time Elevator Museum. Afterward, our tour guide will take you on a guided tour of the Old City of Jerusalem. You will hear about Jerusalem legends and anecdotes. Soon you will better understand the basic features of the complex coexistence of three world religions. The afternoon program is up to you. One example of an afternoon activity is visiting the Israel Museum and learning more about the history of Judaism.

Culture is nature. Meet your shuttle bus before dawn and cross the Judean Desert to the ancient fortress of Masada, once built by King Herod. The rocky desert landscape is known for its unique landscape. After the natural spectacle, you will continue to the oasis of Ein Gedi. In the national park, you will learn a lot about the barren desert habitat and have a chance to swim around in the Dead Sea. This is good for your skin and soul. The afternoon and evening in Jerusalem are at your leisure. We recommend an optional visit to the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem - the world's most important memorial commemorating the Nazi extermination of the Jews. Afterward, you will head to Tel Aviv by train.
