Israel and Jordan host more biblical archaeological sites than any other countries in the Eastern Mediterranean. During times of heightened tension in the Middle East our itineraries are adjusted to visit some of the more than 6,000 archaeological sites in more remote, safer areas of the biblical landscape. There is no reason for our itinerary to be near a place where the tension is high. You will feel safe on our trips.
Unique Insights in Israel and Jordan:
You will understand why and where things happen in the Bible. Our emphasis will be to understand how the settings of ancient texts helped influence them and our understanding.
Special Features in Israel and Jordan:
A major emphasis of an Israel/Jordan trip will be to walk where Jesus walked and visit places important to our faith. We will actually set our itinerary in order of the Gospel sequence. This will help us understand turning points in the life of Jesus.
Highlights of Israel and Jordan Trip:
Follow Jesus from Nazareth to Cana, and onward to the Sea of Galilee. Visit sites often missed on basic tours. Withdraw with the disciples to the district of Caesarea Philippi.
Our journey will then follow Jesus to Jerusalem and its important sites. Some itineraries will also visit Jordan's ancient sites, archaeological museums, and important churches.
We encourage groups planning a trip to the Holy Land to consider a pre-trip visit to the Explorations in Antiquity Center in Lagrange, Georgia.
