Day 01
Hula Valley, Dan and Golan Heights Biblical Tour
- Start your day with a drive to the Hula Valley, the so-called "The Galilee Finger," and make your first stop in the ancient town of Hazor.
- Walk through Solomon's Gate to enter the preserved Canaanite palace and listen to a briefing about the city's history.
- Continue northward to Dan and tour its charming isles between the gushing water springs. Stop by its fortifications and sacred site, and reflect on the Danites, the ancient Kingdom of Israel, and its fate.
- Proceed to Abraham's Gate, a unique 3800-year-old arched gate through which Father Abraham entered to rescue Lot.
- Make your way up the hill to Caesarea Philippi and stand next to its wide stream of water. Open your heart to listen to the Gospel (Matthew 16).
- Visit the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine ruins on site.
- Continue by vehicle to one of the Druze towns, where you will have an opportunity for a traditional bite (not included).
- Drive further east to reach the Syrian border. View the area of Haran, discuss the geopolitics of the region, and see the trail used by Saul/Paul on his way to Damascus.
- Make your way back to the meeting point, passing near the Sea of Galilee, and enjoy a quick briefing on the sites where Jesus carried out most of His three years of ministry.
