What you can expect

  • This half-day Bethlehem tour sets off through the Judean Hills to Bethlehem. On arrival, we stop in Manger Square and go into the historic Church of the Nativity. This church was built around the Holy Grotto where Jesus was born on the first Christmas Eve - and the silver star on the grotto floor marks the site of the nativity. Enjoy the architectural features of the church, and the many works of art, and see part of the original mosaic floor.

  • From here the tour continues tothe Church of St. Catherine. The tour goes beneath the church into ancient grottoes to see altars, tombs, and where St Jerome translated the Hebrew Bible to Latin.

  • We leave Bethlehem passing Shepherds Field and the Biblical Field of Ruthbefore returning to Jerusalem approximately at 13:00. The tour will end at the David Citadel Hotel or at HaGiva'a HaTsarfatit light rail station.
