Christian Tours to Israel – Suggested Itinerary
Here is an Itinerary for Christian tours to Israel. I constructed it to include all the important pilgrim attractions in Israel and then some… There are a lot of similarities to my general itinerary – this is natural as many important and interesting sites have to do with Jesus’ life in Israel and with Christianity in general. I hope you can use it to plan your travel to the attractions that interests you the most. You can also use it to plan church tours to Israel also known as in the footsteps of Jesus.
