Bethlehem Tour
Bethlehem Tour
After collecting you from your hotel at the indicated time, we'll set off on our half-day tour of the sacred city of Bethlehem.
We'll cross the Judean Hills that will take us to Bethlehem. Upon arrival, our first stop is Manger Square, the location which, according to the scriptures, is where the three wise kings came to show their adoration for newborn baby Jesus. The square is home to the Church of Nativity, where we'll visit the grotto where Jesus was born. After this visit, we'll take a 20-minute break.
Very close by we'll find the church of Santa Catalina, where we'll enter the ancient caves located under the church, home to altars, tombs, and the site where Saint Jerome translated the Hebrew Bible into Latin.
Our last stop in Bethlehem will be at Shepherd’s Field hill upon which you'll find the shrine that commemorated the first Annunciation of the birth of Christ.
After exploring the essential locations in Bethlehem, we'll return to Jerusalem. In this city, where arrival is scheduled for 4.5 to 5 hours after pickup, we'll drop you off at the David Citadel Hotel or at Ha'Giva Ha'Tzarfatit station.
