Jewish Roots — The Heritage Tour

The Heritage Tour weaves together snapshots from the history of the Jewish People in the Land of Israel: from the forefathers to the sages, from the pioneers to the high tech innovators. Journey through time and tradition and find a piece of yourself in The Land.

Stage One: Welcome to Israel!

Your journey begins in Tel Aviv, the economic and technological capital of Israel, with glimpses of contemporary Israeli society and culture, the founding of the State of Israel, and the rebirth of the Jewish Nation after WWII.

Stage Two: Heading North

Make your way up the scenic Mediterranean Coastal Plain and into the lush Galilee Region and explore ancient settlements, historical and cultural landmarks, and stunning natural phenomena. Connect with the land, the stories, and the people.

Stage Three: Jerusalem — The Heart of a People

Continue through antique landscapes to the ancient stone alleyways of the Old City of Jerusalem, steeped with wisdom and memories. Get a taste of modern Jerusalem, head down to the Dead Sea and head up Masada, and choose the Theme Day that’s perfect for you.
