Jewish day tours focus on the highlights of Israel with an emphasis on Jewish heritage and culture. In addition to Jewish landmarks, the tours also visit other iconic sites and natural wonders of Eretz Israel. No matter whether you choose to tour the Galilee, Mediterranean coast, Jerusalem, or southern Israel you’ll see Jewish sites and landmarks of the Holy Land on the Jewish day tours.

Meron or the excavated and reconstructed Talmudic-era village in Katzrin. In the Golan Heights visit Syrian fortifications abandoned in the Six Day War of 1967. Tour the sacred Jewish city of Safed where the mystical Kabbalah was born. Safed is also famed for its artists’ quarter and historic synagogues.
Along the Mediterranean coast tour Caesarea, an excavated Roman-era port city. See Haifa’s breathtaking Baha’i Gardens and travel to the northernmost point on Israel’s coast to visit the sea grottoes of Rosh HaNikra. The Crusader city of Acre is included in some Jewish day tours and here you can see the prison where Jews were held during the British Mandate.
On some Jewish day tours you can travel south to Masada; learn about the role this site played in ancient Jewish history and why it has become a symbol of Jewish independence. Spend time at the Dead Sea; tour the ancient city of Jericho and see where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in Qumran.
