REMARKABLE PLACES
Caesarea by the Sea
Visit this ancient Roman seaport where the gospel first came to the Gentiles. Peter preached his first sermon and baptized Cornelius and his household here.
Capernaum
This small village was at the center of Jesus’ ministry. Here He called disciples and performed many miracles. Nearby is the iconic St. Peter’s Church.
City of David
Walk the same paths as biblical figures and witness archaeological marvels. King David established his kingdom here more than 3,000 years ago.
The Garden of Gethsemane
Sit where Jesus went to pray the night of His arrest. We encourage our travelers to pause among the ancient trees for prayerful contemplation.
Mount of Beatitudes
Jesus delivered His “Sermon on the Mount” in this spot. Hear a sermon overlooking sparkling, tranquil waters and experience the powerful natural acoustics.
Mount of Olives
Jesus wept over Jerusalem here, where He ascended into Heaven on His last day on earth. Gaze at the gate He will walk through when He returns.
Western Wall
Visit one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, all that remains of the original Temple. Also known as the “Wailing Wall,” people worldwide come here to pray.
Sea of Galilee
Jesus spent much of His public ministry near these shores. Sail in traditional wooden boats through the calm waters while contemplating its significance.
