The Journey
Tel Aviv • Caesarea • Haifa • Akko • Golan Heights • Masada • Dead Sea • Jerusalem • Ramon Crater
Eight days through Israel, and the luxury is that there’s no one else besides you and your group. No fixed departure, your pace, your guide, an itinerary that’s yours alone. A tent stirring in the desert wind with no one waiting for you to leave it. Stone old enough to hold empires, touched for as long as you actually want to touch it. This is luxury built around one thing: nobody else’s plans between you and this special land.
Shalom and welcome to Israel! Be met by your VIP Meeting and Assistance Representative who will assist you through passport control and retrieving your luggage. Meet your driver and be transferred to your hotel for your first overnight in Tel Aviv.
