GALILEE AND GOLAN HEIGHTS TOUR 

(3 DAYS IN NORTHERN ISRAEL)


Day 1


Pick up at Hotel


Drive through the Scenic Judean desert and Jordan Valley and see from the car: the Dead Sea, Jordan, and many sites mentioned in Tanach and the Gemara.  
 

First stop has four recommended choices:
 

Eretz Bereshit- child friendly camel rides which take us to “Avraham’s tent” where
“Eliezer” his servant will give us food and tea. We will bake Pita breads the same way our forefathers would have in the desert


  •  

Or
 

Jeeping in the Judean Desert- starts at Kfar Adumim
 

Or
 

Quick Camel Ride at Almog 


or 


Third Temple Academy - Run by a Kohen (Priest), it was set up to train Kohanim to be ready to serve in the Third Temple when it is re-built. He set up different work stations connected to the individual services which he shows to tourists (for example, the different spices in the Ketoret (Incense offering)).We will bake Pita breads the same way our forefathers would have in the desert. A very visual and educational experience. Option for incredible working shops 


       

Stops we can do along the way include:

 

Jordan River Crossing and Jordanian border - The spot where Yehoshua (Joshua) was said to have brought the  Jewish people into Israel after 40 years in the wilderness (from here they  will conquer, miraculously, nearby Jericho). Spot where Eliyahu Hanavi (Elijah the prophet) ascended to Shamayim (Heaven) alive. Interesting from a political point of view as this is the  border with the country of Jordan and just about the closest you can get  without actually being in Jordan (often you are just 20 feet from both an Israeli and Jordanian soldiers).

We will drive through the Scenic Judean desert and Jordan Valley where we will see from the car: the Dead Sea, Jordan, and many sites mentioned in Tanach (Bible)

​Option for Jeeping in the Judean Desert


Some of the sites we can visit include:

Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu- A Kibbutz which is a world leader in organic food. The Kibbutz is still collectively owned. We will experience what it is like to live in a Kibbutz by planting and picking vegetables, feeding the animals, touching their organic bees (they don’t sting) and more. A Must see for kids (and adults)!. 


Gangaroo - Unique Zoo dedicated to Australian animals. The highlight is the largest Kangaroo petting zoo.


Tiveria (Tiberius)- Interesting city culturally. One of Israel’s four holy cities. It sits beautifully along the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). In Roman times, the city was known worldwide for its natural hot springs (even today it is a spa city). 


​Option to stroll along the board walk on the Kinneret. Good place to have a nice lunch.


Walking tour of Tzfat- One of the 4 holy cities and world center of Kaballah. Walk through its enchanting 500 year old alleys and artist colony.


                                    Arrival to Hotel in Tzfat.                                       

Day 2

Breakfast at the Hotel


Short hike up the paved path of the Citadel- This was the largest Crusader fortress in the middle East. From the top you will see one of the most spectacular views in the country (perhaps the world). On a clear day see the Golan Heights, Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), and the Galil (Galilee).



Some of the things we can do that day include

​Menara cliffs- Steepest cliff in Israel. Take the cable car up to see an amazing view (can see Lebanon on a clear day)

Option for Rafting on the Jordan River


Banias- An easy hike with a waterfall which runs all year around (a rarity in Israel).


Har Bental- A safe overlook of Syria (up to the outskirts of Damascus). Hear the significance of the Golan Heights and walk through former IDF (Israeli Army) trenches. 


​De Karina Chocolate factory- In the first room, see how chocolate is made. In the second room, we will eat enough chocolate to satisfy us for a year. In the third room, each of us will make our own chocolate and bring it home with us. 


Kibbutz Lavi- Night activities with the Israeli’s. This kibbutz was founded in 1949 with Holocaust Survivors/Orphans from England (England took in Jewish Children as part of its “Kinder transport”).                                                                                                   

Day 3


Beit Shean- One of the world’s best preserved Roman Cities. Visit the ancient bathhouses, theater, hear some familiar stories and walk its streets. Mentioned several times in Tanach (Bible). For more on this site, check out this article I wrote: Biblical Beit Shean


Jordan River Crossing (opposite Jericho) - The spot where Joshua was said to have brought the Jewish people into Israel after 40 years in the desert (from here they miraculously conquered Jericho). This is the border with the country of Jordan.
