Jewish heritage 4×4
Route characteristics:
A trip that combines sites and places sacred to the Jewish people in the Land of Israel with off-road driving in an SUV. During the trip we will visit the holy cities of Judaism such as Jerusalem, Tiberias and Safed, along with other Jewish heritage sites and also, we will travel on some of the most beautiful scenic routes in Israel. The route is dynamic and several more days can be added and, accordingly, also additional religious or vacation sites.
Day number 1:
Landing at the airport in Tel Aviv, receiving our SUV and driving towards the Sea of Galilee. On the way, we will have a first taste of off-road driving in the Gilboa Mountains (depending on the time of landing in Israel) and then we will go to the hotel that will host us in the following days for dinner and a night's rest
Day number 2:
The first half of the day, we will dedicate to off-road driving along the Jordan River and, if the weather permits, also to bathing in the river water.
In the second part of the day, we will travel through the city of Tiberias, where the great men of Israel worked and were buried within its boundaries, including Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakhai, Rabbi Akiva and the Holy Prophet, and likewise the bones of Rambam, who died in Egypt, were brought to Tiberias and buried in Tiberias according to his will
At the end of the day we will return to sleep and rest in our hotel
Day number 3:
We will start the day by driving north towards the city of Safed, which is one of the four holy cities in Judaism, and as such it serves as an important religious center and a pilgrimage center for believers.
