Nazareth Galilee Yardenit Tour from Haifa Port
Our guide will meet you at your cruise ship in Haifa Port. Leave the Haifa city and drive into the beautiful green landscape of Northern Israel towards the first stop of the tour, Nazareth. Visit the Church of the Annunciation, where the Angel Gabriel visited the Virgin Mary to tell her she would be the mother of Jesus. See the Church of St Joseph, built over the carpentry workshop of Mary’s husband, Joseph, and pass through Kfar Canna, where Jesus turned water into wine.
Pass by the Church of the Multiplication next to the Sea of Galilee. This is where the miracle of the loaves and fishes took place in the Gospel of John.

Finally, travel to the southern end of the Sea of Galilee, where the Jordan River meets the Dead Sea in Tiberias. This is where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. And make a stop to see the Mount of Beatitudes, a hill in northern Israel where Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

Wonderful day with Avi
★★★★★
“ Avi was absolutely wonderful!! We had such a great day with him visiting Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea. He was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he made the whole experience feel easy, interesting, and fun. He adapted perfectly to our family and kept our two kids engaged, even in the heat. He always knew where to stop, where to find shade, and how to share the history in a way that was fascinating but never too heavy. His car was also very comfortable, which made the long drive to and from Tel Aviv so much easier. It was a long, hot day, but it went by so fast because we were having such a good time. We would absolutely book Avi again and are already looking forward to more adventures with him!”

Amazing experience!
★★★★★
“ I had an amazing experience at the Dead Sea and Masada tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Enrique. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history throughout the entire trip you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and knows the subject inside and out. Enrique was extremely kind, welcoming, and friendly from start to finish. He made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of, and his hospitality really stood out. The whole experience felt organized, fun, and personal because of him. If you’re thinking about doing a Dead Sea and Masada tour, I highly recommend it and if you get Enrique as your guide, you’re in great hands.”

Petra with Wadi Rum
★★★★★
“ Wife and I visited Petra with overnight at Wadi Rum Bedouin camp in Jordan. We have been discussing this trip for 10 years and it did not disappoint. Both sites are incredible, tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, accommodations are excellent and food is delicious. Flight to/from Tel Aviv and crossing to/from Eilat to Aqaba were not complicated. If you want to see these wonders of the world, don’t hesitate - you will not be disappointed.”
