Tourists vacationing in Turkey have a wonderful opportunity to fly to Israel for 1-2 days and touch the ancient shrines, feel the energy of the holy places. There are many interesting countries in the world, but there is only one Holy Land for the three main world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Many dream of visiting Israel. If before people went to Jerusalem on foot, risking their lives, now this pilgrimage has become available.

You will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, within which there is Mount Calvary – on which Jesus was crucified, an anointing stone – on which the body of Christ was anointed with myrrh and wrapped in a shroud and a cuvuklia – the tomb of Jesus – the place of resurrection.

It is in Kuvuklia that the consecration of the Holy Fire takes place every Orthodox Easter. You will visit the Kotel. The Wailing Wall is considered the main Jewish shrine, but they approach it regardless of religion, think about the sacred and leave notes with desires. Sometimes the program provides for visits to the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin and the tomb of the Virgin Mary.
In Bethlehem – Palestine, the Temple of the Nativity of Christ, built at the place of his birth, is visited. The group then arrives at the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized. In addition to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the program includes a visit to the Dead Sea. It is really dead: from the living there are only 9 species of bacteria and floating tourists. The Dead Sea is also located at the lowest point on Earth – 427 m below sea level. The density of water allows you to lie effortlessly on the surface, but it is impossible to swim. On the Dead Sea coast are famous spa hotels.
