Seraphim Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 In 2 years we are planning a family trip to the Holy Land. I figure about $15,000 CAN? If anyone has been to the Holy Land what did you enjoy most? Link to comment
greta96 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My mom went a couple of years ago, and she said it was an amazing experience. Unfortunately I can't remember the places she said she visited, I know she went to the Jerusalem temple and I think Bethlehem too, but she did say it is a trip worth taking at least once in a lifetime. There are so many amazing things/places to see there, and she said there is *something* about it that just stays with you. She was deeply moved. I'm sure you will enjoy it! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I am hoping that it is something we remember for a lifetime. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Are you religious? I liked the fruit and vegetable market in Jerusalem. Fabulous halva. Nice to walk within the walled city. So touristic, so go off hours. Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall were fascinating. Traveled up to Akko and Haifa. Akko was my favorite. Tel Aviv was also a fun and vibrant city You would be better off utilizing Trip Adviser Link to comment

Hollyj Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I am ,yes. I am the wrong person to respond, then. I like to experience architecture, culture and food. If I return, I would love to visit Palestine. I highly suggest that you pop across the border to Jordan and visit Petra. Unbelievable. Link to comment

Hollyj Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Are you doing a tour? Israel is very easy to do on your own. Small country , and trains efficient and much English spoken. I wish I had had more time to explore the country, but it was my first country on a five country visit. Be very careful in your dates, and not to travel during high holiday, as much will be closed.

Seraphim Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 We would be doing a tour group I think, yes. It is about 11 days from Tel Aviv to Amman Jordan. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have heard May is the best time of year the best weather and not many tourists And no holidays. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Zefat is supposed to be very charming and interesting. I also suggest you pick up a Lonely Planet. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's great. I didn't meant Temple Mount, but Dome of the Rock. Non Muslims have limited visit time. So be careful to check availability . Masada is also supposed to great. Link to comment
Nanana123 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I live in Haifa and always thought it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Although, I never did the tourists stuff. Link to comment
