Day 1 - Monday, Sept 8: We depart on an overnight flight with connections to Tel Aviv. Also available, if you choose, is to arrive a day early to rest and get over jetlag. We can book that extra hotel night and let you know that cost. Day 2 - Tuesday, Sept 9: Arriving at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the group flight is met, assisted and transferred to our hotel for dinner and overnight. It is no issue if you arrive on a flight different than the group flight, you can easily take a taxi to the hotel. Experience the beautiful Mediterranean beach at sunset. Look to the south and see Joppa, from where Jonah sailed!

Was Jezebel sitting beside him? As we hike further on we see where King Jeroboam set up the Golden Calf as recorded in 1 Kings 12:26-30. The Dan is a real surprise, a crystal clear tributary of the Jordan River! You find it hard to believe this is Israel...
We then hike down to the spectacular Banias Falls.

Saul.

At the end of the day our bus

Our next visit is to the fascinating City of
David – climbing and walking through ancient
tunnels and waterways. We see recent discoveries, explore the Gihon
Spring, the Pool of
Siloam and enter a newly excavated tunnel on the Roman pavement
stones from the time of Christ. This tunnel exits at the southwest
corner of Temple Mount. Dinner and overnight
Jerusalem.

Day 11 - Thursday, Sept 18:
This morning we drive to the Israel
border and cross into Jordan. We are
met by our Jordanian guide and drive east to visit Jerash (ancient
Gerasa), one of the Decapolis cities mentioned in the Bible,
and one of the largest and best preserved Roman cities located outside
Rome. Continue south to the Capital of
Jordan, Amman
for dinner and overnight.
Day 12 - Friday, Sept 19:
Today we travel south from Amman on the King's
Highway to Petra. On the way we visit Madaba, a
Moabite city mentioned in the Exodus account in Numbers 21:30 and
Joshua 13:9. The present-day city is known for the many mosaics found
in the remains of floors in private homes and public buildings. Madaba
is the site of the famed Mosaic Map
which is an index map of the region preserved in the floor of the
Basilica of St. George. It is the earliest remaining representation of
Jerusalem. The map provides details of 6th century Jerusalem landmarks.
This map is one key in developing scholarly knowledge about the
physical layout of Jerusalem after the year 70.
We continue to Mt Nebo to
stand in the sandals of Moses: "Then Moses climbed Mt Nebo from the
plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the
Lord showed him the whole land...then the Lord said to him, This is the
land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, I will
give it to your descendants. I have let you see it with your eyes, but
you will not cross over into it. And Moses the servant of the Lord died
there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him in Moab, in the
valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave
is." – Deut. 34.
Day 13 - Saturday, Sept 20: Today we spend the day exploring
Petra, the city
that was carved into the rose-red Sharah
Mountains by the Nabateans and
lost to civilization until re-discovered by the Swiss explorer
Burkhardt. We enter this World Heritage site through the Siq, a narrow
fissure between the cliffs, to reach the Treasury, Roman Theater,
Courts, Temple of the Winged Lion and other monuments. Note: this is a
good place to ride a camel. OPTIONAL HIKE: If conditions permit and you
are physically able we can take a unique exit out of Petra. When I
(Tim) was there a few years ago my guide and I hiked for 1 1/2 hours
without seeing anyone else, a WONDERFUL new
experience! At the end of the day we drive
south to Wadi Rum for dinner and overnight at a Tent Camp...a
desert night of sand, stars and a unique evening meal...an experience
you will never forget! (don't worry each tent has private bathroom
facilities).
Day 14 - Sunday, Sept 21: This morning we have an amazing Jeep ride in Wadi Rum. We see where "The Martian" was filmed. We then depart Wadi Rum and travel one hour south to Aqaba to our fabulous resort hotel on the Red Sea.
