Day 4 ~ Tuesday
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).

Drive to Nazareth and visit Nazareth Village, depicting a village from the time of Jesus. Continue to Mt. Precipice.

PETRA / WADI RUM
Day 8 ~ Saturday
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
