We’ll pick you up early from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel and transfer you to Taba for passport and customs formalities. Upon crossing into Israel, head straight to the Dead Sea—float effortlessly in its mineral-rich waters under the warm sun. Next, visit the Jordan River baptism site, where pilgrims don white robes, say prayers, and immerse three times “in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” From there, travel in modern, air-conditioned coaches to Jerusalem. Explore the Old City: approach the Western Wall and slip your written prayer into its stones; walk part of the Via Dolorosa (“Way of the Cross”) through the Muslim and Christian quarters; then enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Golgotha, where Christ’s crucifixion, burial and resurrection took place. Afterwards, cross to Bethlehem to see the 4th-century Church of the Nativity—descend its marble-lined stairs to the Grotto of Jesus’s birth, marked by the silver star bearing “Hic de Virgine Maria Jesus Christ natus est.” Enjoy a restaurant lunch before re-crossing at Taba and returning to Sharm El Sheikh.
