Places are on a first come first served basis and the group will be limited to 42 places. The group will be restricted to an adult age group.

Jim said: “We will enjoy four nights in Tiberius visiting Capernaum, Tabgha, Golan, Baniās, River Jordan (Kayaking for those who wish to participate) Mount Carmel, Caesarea, Nazareth and many more. Six nights in Jerusalem visiting the Old City, garden of Gethsemane, Garden Tomb, Caiaphas House, David Citadel Museum, Yad Vashem (Memorial of Jewish Holocaust) shrine of the Book.
