Pat – United Kingdom

We had Daniel and Ahmed as our guide and driver. Of different faiths but worked together so well in serving Bein Hamin clients. Great representatives of the employing company. We travelled for Sukkot not realising it was also the main Israeli holiday period when schools closed for a week. Roads were so busy - blocked sometimes, or often at a snail’s pace. They worked together to find us the best route back and providing an unscheduled stop for clients’ needs. They were the face of Bein Hamin to the clients and they did a superb job. Would like them to know how grateful we are.

Full description

Enjoy a day exploring some of the most significant holy sites in Israel on an excursion by bus from Jerusalem. The guided tour sets out from the city early in the morning and drives along the scenic coast via Tel Aviv and the plain of Armageddon to Nazareth. Arrive in Nazareth and visit St. Joseph’s Church and the Church of the Annunciation. The largest Roman Catholic church in the Middle East, the Church of the Annunciation is, according to tradition, the scene of the annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Continue onwards via Kafr Kanna to view the Mount of Beatitudes and Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish at Tabgha. Set on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, you will stop to view the sea, and continue to the nearby ruins of the ancient synagogue of Capernaum. Visit Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, considered one of the 4 Holy Cities of Judaism, along with Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed. Drive to the Jordan River at Yardenit, where guests are invited to receive an optional baptismal service. Return to Jerusalem via a scenic route that takes in views of Mt. Tabor, the site of the transfiguration.
