Tentative Itinerary

 

May 10, Sunday — Departure from Houston

Departure from Houston → Overnight Flight

Your journey begins with expectation and faith, leaving the familiar and stepping into the land where Scripture comes alive. As Abraham once went out not knowing where he was going, we too begin a walk of trust and anticipation.

“Go to the land I will show you.” — Genesis 12:1

May 11, Monday — Welcome to Israel

Jaffa • Caesarea • Mount Carmel • Haifa

Landing in the Land of Promise, we walk through layers of biblical and historical faithfulness. From Jaffa’s call to obedience, to Caesarea’s witness to God’s sovereignty over nations, to Mount Carmel’s reminder that the Lord alone is God.

“The Lord, He is God.” — 1 Kings 18:39

Overnight: Netanya

 

May 12, Tuesday — Jezreel Valley & Galilee

Valley of Jezreel • Megiddo • Sea of Galilee

Standing in the Valley of Decision, we are reminded that history moves toward God’s purposes. As we travel north, the calm of the Galilee invites hearts to rest and listen.

“Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24:15

Overnight: Tiberias

May 13, Wednesday — Ministry of Jesus in Galilee

Capernaum • Mount of Beatitudes • Jordan River

Walking where Jesus taught and healed, we hear again the call to humility, mercy, and faith. The waters of the Jordan invite reflection on new beginnings and renewed commitment.

“Follow Me.” — Matthew 4:19

Overnight: Tiberias

May 14, Thursday — Wilderness & Promise

Jericho • Qumran • Dead Sea

From ancient Jericho to the caves of Qumran, we are reminded of perseverance, Scripture, and hope preserved through generations. Floating in the Dead Sea reflects the sustaining power of God even in barren places.

“Man does not live by bread alone.” — Deuteronomy 8:3

Overnight: Jerusalem

May 15, Friday — Jerusalem: Promise & Prayer

Mount of Olives • Garden of Gethsemane • Southern Steps • City of David

Overlooking the Holy City, we reflect on surrender, obedience, and God’s unfolding plan. These stones testify to prayer, sacrifice, and covenant faithfulness.

“Not my will, but Yours be done.” — Luke 22:42

Overnight: Jerusalem

May 16, Saturday — Jerusalem: Roots & Continuity

Western Wall • Jewish Quarter • Upper Room

A day to sense the continuity of faith across generations. Prayer, remembrance, and fellowship converge in the heart of Jerusalem.

Overnight: Jerusalem

 

May 17, Sunday — Birth & Calling

Bethlehem • Shepherds’ Fields • Ein Karem

In quiet fields and hillside villages, we remember God’s choice of humble beginnings to reveal great purpose.

“For unto you is born this day a Savior.” — Luke 2:11

Overnight: Jerusalem

May 18, Monday — Sacrifice & Hope

Via Dolorosa • Garden Tomb

Walking the path of suffering leads us to the message of hope and life. Communion here centers hearts on redemption and victory.

“He is not here; He has risen.” — Luke 24:6

Overnight: Jerusalem

 

May 19, Tuesday — Jordan: Vision & Promise

 

Mount Nebo • Petra

From Mount Nebo, we look across the land of promise, reminded that God’s faithfulness extends beyond our lifetime. Petra speaks of endurance and God’s hand in history.

“The Lord has let me see it with my eyes.” — Deuteronomy 34:4

Overnight: Petra

May 20, Wednesday — Petra & Rest

Petra • Dead Sea

A final day of wonder and reflection, surrounded by beauty carved through time. The journey winds down in quiet gratitude.

“The Lord has done great things for us.” — Psalm 126:3

Overnight: Dead Sea (Marriott)

May 21, Thursday — Return Home

Cross into Israel • Evening Departure from Tel Aviv → Houston

Carrying memories, Scripture, and renewed faith, we return home changed—bringing the lessons of the Land into daily life.

A Jerusalem Resident’s Message to U.S. Travelers

"Despite the headlines, Israel and the surrounding region remain among the most stable and well-managed destinations for organized tourism. Israel maintains some of the strongest security systems in the world, and these measures are designed to ensure that major travel areas, hotels, buses, airports, and crossing points operate smoothly and reliably for visitors.

Many American travelers are surprised to find that walking through Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Israel’s major biblical sites often feels more orderly and comfortable than navigating many large cities in the United States, where domestic incidents and unpredictable crime have increased in recent years. Israel’s approach is proactive, structured, and highly coordinated—resulting in a consistent and dependable experience for millions of visitors each year.

Jordan and Egypt’s primary tourism regions—such as Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and Sinai—also maintain strong coordination with local authorities and international partners. These countries value tourism deeply and take significant measures to provide secure, welcoming conditions for guests.

Throughout your journey, you will be accompanied by licensed professionals—guides, drivers, and coordinators—who monitor conditions daily and adjust itineraries when needed. Our programs are built with years of on-the-ground experience, attention to detail, and close communication with local partners.

In short: Israel and its neighboring destinations remain open, calm, and highly organized for tourism. While every country has its challenges, visitors consistently report that their travel here feels well-managed and comfortable from start to finish.

 

We look forward to welcoming you and providing an inspiring, meaningful, and professionally coordinated travel experience throughout your visit."

Yehuda Shlomo Berry
