CAESAREA / MEGIDDO / NAZARETH
Day 4 – Wednesday
We drive north along the Plain of Sharon, the Mediterranean and the old coastal road- the Via Maris that linked Egypt and Babylon as we journey towards Galilee. We stop at Caesarea the incredible fortress city built by King Herod the Great. Here, Pontius Pilate had his base; where Cornelius lived and was baptized (Acts 10); where Paul embarked to Tarsus (Acts 9:30) and where Philip preached (Acts 8:40). Visit the Roman Theatre, the Hippodrome, and the Crusader City. We turn inland and proceed to Megiddo, one of King Solomon’s walled fortified cities (1 Kings 9:15; 10:26), with ruins of 20 levels of civilization. From here the Books of Daniel and Revelation will come alive as we read about the final Battle of Armageddon, while viewing the Plains of Jezreel. Drive to Nazareth and visit Nazareth Village, depicting a village from the time of Jesus. Continue to Mt. Precipice. The mountain rises 397 meters above sea level and received its informal name due to the belief it was the location of the rejection of Jesus, as described in the Gospel of Luke. Continue to Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee. Dinner and overnight at Nof Ginossar on the Sea of Galilee.

PETRA / WADI RUM
Day 8 – Sunday
Petra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site that enchants visitors from all corners of the globe. Much of Petra's appeal comes from its spectacular setting deep inside a narrow desert gorge. The site is accessed by walking through a kilometer-long chasm (or siq), the walls of which soar 200m upwards. Petra's most famous monument, the Treasury, appears dramatically at the end of the Siq. Used in the final sequence of the film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." The towering façade of the Treasury is only one of the myriad archaeological wonders to be explored at Petra. Various walks and climbs reveal literally hundreds of buildings, tombs, baths, funerary halls, temples, arched gateways, colonnaded streets and haunting rock drawings - as well as a 3,000 seat open-air theatre, a gigantic 1st-century Monastery, and a modern archeological museum, all of which can be explored at leisure. Continue our drive south to Wadi Rum. On arrival we will have a 2-hour jeep tour in the landscape looking like the planet Mars. One of the most beautiful terrain anywhere in the world where so many movies have been filmed including Lawrence of Arabia. Dinner and overnight Mazayen Rum Camp, Wadi Rum
