*One of the attractions of Israel is its blend of cultures, religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and histories. This diverse landscape makes the scheduling of itineraries more complex.  Schedules, housing and itinerary are subject to change without notice due to the devaluation of the dollar and political uncertainties.   This itinerary is based on the best possible use of time management, keeping in mind the complexities of Jerusalem traffic, the current political climate, and opening hours as regards to Jewish, Christian and Muslim holidays.
