Holy Land Tours

Travel Footloose’s Holy Land tours are guided visits to the region encompassing Israel,

Palestine, Jordan, and surrounding areas, where significant events in the Old and New

Testaments with regards to Judaism & Christianity took place. These tours offer a chance for pilgrims to explore historical and religious sites, bringing the ancient traditions and the Holy Bible to life. It is very spiritual to experience where King David ruled, where Moses was buried and where Isiah prophesied. It is hard not to be struck with awe when retracing the steps where Jesus walked and preached. It is spiritually emotional to see His birthplace, where John the Baptist baptized Him, where He gave the Sermon on the Mount, where He walked on water on the Sea of Galilee. It is heart wrenching to witness where He was scourged for preaching the truth, crucified for being a threat to the religious stalwarts of his time. It is downright amazing to be where he rose from the dead.

In Israel, key locations include Jerusalem, where the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy

Sepulcher, and the Dome of the Rock are central to religious heritage. Pilgrims visit sites such as the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Via Delarosa, which is believed to be the path Jesus took to his crucifixion. Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, and Nazareth, where Jesus spent his childhood, are also common stops.

Visitors may also explore the city of Nablus and the Dead Sea, known for its historical and

geographical importance. 

Jordan offers visits to Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the ancient city of Madaba, which is home to historical Christian mosaics. Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have viewed the Promised Land, is another popular stop.

Holy Land tours typically include spiritual reflection, history, and cultural exploration. Tourists not only learn about the religious significance of these places but also gain insight into the modern-day cultures and challenges of the region. They often cater to specific faith-based groups nbut are open to anyone interested in the rich historical and religious narratives of the area.
