Full description

This half-day excursion takes you to the heart of the biblical story of the Nativity. Drive to Bethlehem to get an overview of the Shepherds' Field and to visit the Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the world. Located on the West Bank, the city is heavily dependent on tourism and thousands come every year to worship or just watch at Manger's Square where Jesus is said to have been born. The city is the birthplace of King David, and means “City of Bread,” as a result of the wheat crop that grew in the region. According to Christian tradition, it is the site of the birth of Jesus. You will visit the Church of Nativity and the cave where Jesus was born. Continue to Manger Square, where Jesus was placed after his birth. Today it is also home to the Mosque of Omar, an important site for the many Muslims who live in the city. Explore the Greek and the Catholic Church. You will get an overview of Shepherd's Fields and visit the church, before your return to Jerusalem. The tour ends at approximately 13:30 at David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem.

The visit and the places touched are suggestive. I don't give my best because, although the tour is well organized, unfortunately the time dedicated to visiting the places is very little (about 1 hour) if proportionate to the journey (2 hours to load the various passengers) and to the time forcibly lost in the souvenirs (30 minutes). Too bad: it would be better if you avoided the souvenir shop and added half an hour of visiting the city itself.

Very close to Jerusalem you could go on your own but with this very well organized visit you have no problems wasting time in the afternoon you can still dedicate yourself to Jerusalem. Excellent guides did not miss any kind of information.
