King David swam here. Herod the Great sought its healing waters, too. Farmers used its minerals as fertilizer and the Egyptians used it in their balms for mummification. As you float in the Dead Sea, consider this region as a cradle of cultures and birthplace of world religions. With local experts and scholars to lead you, discover the holy sites, history and modern life of Israel and learn how the past informs the nation’s present and future.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Join thousands of Israelis at the Western Wall to welcome the Jewish Sabbath.
  • Journey to the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, and float in its buoyant and therapeutic waters.
  • Stay on a Kibbutz and talk with residents about their life in a collective community.

Let's Go!
Walking is the best way to get to know a new place. I’m energetic and enjoy a good physical challenge, so I’m always ready to spend the day on the move. Whether it’s public transit, city streets or village cobblestones, I’m game.
