We then drive north along the coast to the archaeological ruins of Caesarea, built by Herod the Great in honour of Augustus Caesar. From there we continue to visit Megiddo, where the Book of Revelations mentions a great battle at the place called ‘Armageddon’.

Continue on to Tabgha, the site of Christ’s miracle of feeding the 5,000 and the Church of the Multiplication, where the mosaic floor depicts a basket with loaves and two fishes. We drive on to the Mount of Beatitudes overlooking the sea, where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, and it is believed that Jesus picked his 12 apostles here. Ascend to the Golan Heights to view the panoramic view of the peaks of Mount Hermon, the rugged plateau of the Golan Heights, and beneath it the green pastoral Hula Valley. Return to Tiberias for another lovely night in town.

Then drive through the Jordan Valley to Beit She’an with its recently excavated amphitheatre. Visit the excavations of this beautiful preserved Roman City, which was destroyed in an earthquake. Continue to Jerusalem and check in at your hotel.
Day 5
JERUSALEM – MASADA – DEAD SEA – JERUSALEM
En route to the Dead Sea, visit the site of the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Through remarkable scenery of the Dead Sea, we continue to Masada, situated on an isolated cliff in the Judean Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ascend by cable car to the fortress, which was the last stronghold of the Jewish Zealots in their war against the Romans. Visit the excavations, King Herod’s palace, the synagogue, bathhouse and much more. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the Roman camps and the Dead Sea. Nearly 400 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface. Bring your swimsuit as if weather permits, it is possible to float on the salty, mineral rich water. Return to Jerusalem
After breakfast, enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Jerusalem, the holy city for each of the world’s three great religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam – giving Jerusalem a special place in the world.
