Yes, it's been too long since my last post but great news! Life in Israel has been returning to normal for several months, as I have been hearing from my friends there. Airlines are resuming flights and tours to Israel are back. With tourism low but increasing, you can enjoy the sites with smaller crowds.
In case you were wondering about safety, please be assured that the guides are all local and are therefore in touch with those issues affecting the safety of tourists, prompting them to make changes in itinerary, if necessary, even at the last minute. Also, resuming tours is a tangible way to support and encourage Israelis as they face unrelenting attacks from the world.
Attached is a brochure with details of the Holy Land Classic tour, which is great, for 2026!! The costs listed are inclusive, EXCEPT for extra flights that may be needed to get you to places such as JFK and Miami for the direct flights to Tel Aviv and travel insurance, which I highly recommend, the cost of which is listed at the end.
One thing to keep in mind – though US citizens are not required to obtain a visa to travel to Israel, all travelers must be in possession of a passport that expires at least 6 months past the date of departure for the tour, so even if, at this time, you are just thinking about a tour as a possibility, check your passport to see if you need to renew it and, of course, apply for one as soon as possible so as to avoid paying expedited processing fees.
But you need to act quickly – 2025 tours are filling up FAST!
Shalom!
