CHRISTMAS EVE TOUR TO JERUSALEM & MIDNIGHT MASS IN BETHLEHEM

Join our Christmas Eve tour on the 24th of December, 2011

Jerusalem Christmas has a unique atmosphere which is very different from Christmas in the Western world. There are no Christmas markets, no Santa Claus or caroling on the streets. The celebrations are mostly taking place on the Christian Quarter, with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre hosting a midnight mass. Christmas in Jerusalem is also an opportunity to visit some of the holiest sites of Christianity, the Via Dolorosa and Bethlehem.
