7-Day Holy Land Pilgrimage: Bethlehem, Jerusalem & Galilee

Walk where Jesus walked on this 7-day Holy Land pilgrimage, a complete Christian tour that links Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the Galilee, the Jordan River, Masada and the Dead Sea into one unhurried week. Elijah Tours is a Christian-owned company based in Bethlehem, and our local guides were born and raised in the Holy Land, so you experience the Gospel story through the eyes of the families who live where it happened.

You are based in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, and travel out each day to the sites at the heart of the Christian faith, then return to rest. Across the week you visit the Church of the Nativity, built over the cave of Jesus' birth, Shepherds' Field where the angels announced his birth, and the Milk Grotto. You stand at Qasr al-Yahud on the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized, ride the cable car up the desert fortress of Masada, and float in the mineral-rich Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth. In Jerusalem you walk the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Mount of Olives, and reach the Western Wall. In the Galilee you visit Nazareth and the Basilica of the Annunciation, Capernaum, the Mount of Beatitudes, and the Sea of Galilee where Jesus taught.

This is a shared pilgrimage with daily departures, so you can begin your week on any arrival day. The price is a flat per-person land package with no group surcharge, and includes six nights in a Bethlehem hotel with daily breakfast, four full guided touring days with a licensed local guide, all ground transport on tour days, and WhatsApp support throughout your trip. Site entrance fees, lunches, dinners and flights are not included, and a private airport transfer can be added.

Because the tours run on a fixed weekly rotation, Jerusalem always falls on a Thursday and Bethlehem on a Monday, so the holy sites stay open and the crowds stay manageable. Whether you are planning a family pilgrimage, a church group journey, or a personal trip of faith, this 7-day Holy Land tour brings together the major Christian sites of the Holy Land in a single, well-paced week, guided by people who call this land home.

The week is comfortably paced, with a free day midway through to rest in Bethlehem, shop for handmade olive wood, or explore the old city at your own speed. Morning pickups let you enjoy breakfast first and reach each site ahead of the crowds, and your guide handles the logistics so you can focus on the experience and the meaning of each place. Modest dress is recommended for the churches and holy sites. Reserve your dates with a 25 percent deposit at least 14 days before arrival, with the balance due 30 days before you travel.
