Israel: Jerusalem, Galilee and Tel Aviv, journeys of meaning

The White City of Tel Aviv, a collection of Modern Movement buildings, was inscribed by UNESCO in 2003. The Sea of Galilee is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth, roughly 210 metres below sea level.

Pilgrimage in private

For Christian pilgrims, a private journey with a guide who knows the scriptures and the sites turns the route into something personal. Time and quiet matter more than the number of stops.

Jerusalem and Galilee

Jerusalem rewards early mornings and slow walking, and Galilee is a landscape of lake, hills and villages. Spring and autumn are generally the most pleasant seasons for both.

Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is a coastal city of architecture, markets and some of the region's finest tables. Its White City is best seen on foot with a guide, and followed by a dinner chosen to match the day.

How long to stay

A week allows Jerusalem, Galilee and Tel Aviv without haste, and a pilgrimage often benefits from more time at each stop. The distances are short, which leaves room for quiet days and unhurried meals.

Who it suits

Israel suits pilgrims, history lovers and guests who enjoy a lively coastal city after days of reflection. It asks for sensitivity to local customs and for attention to current travel conditions.
