The Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter is located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It commemorates the miracle of the of the multiplication of the loaves and fish as well as the third appearance of Jesus after the Resurrection, according to the end of the Book of John. In contrast to the great churches and basillicas, this simple chapel is set in a serene setting which gives direct access to the Sea of Galilee for pilgrims.

The Jaffa Gate, one of the eight Gates of the Old City of Jerusalem, is the busiest gate on the western side. it is so called because for centuries it was connected to the seaport of Jaffa via the Jaffa Road. Entrance through this impressive gate gives direct access to the the Christian and Armenian Quarters as well as to the Arab market. The Tower of David is inside the gate on the right.

The Second Temple Model is located on the grounds of the Israel Museum next to the Shrine of the Book. The "model" is truly impressive being built on a scale of 1:50. It is an excellent place to learn about ancient Jerusalem as it provides a bird's-eye view of the city on the eve of it's destruction by the Romans in 70 C. E. The model also enables the visitor to connect with the holy places and historical sites visited or to be visited.

The Mt. of Temptation is the traditional site where Jesus, after fasting for forty days and nights, was tempted by Satan, according to the Gospels. A Byzantine monastery, the Qarantal ( from "forty"), was built on the mount over 1500 years ago. It is built into the cliff overlooking the tel and modern town of Jericho. The monastery can be accessed via a steep climb or cablecar.

Bethlehem, or the "House of Bread" in Hebrew, is located just south of Jerusalem in an area under the control of the Palestinian Authority. It is the final resting place of Rachel, the Matriarch, as well as the place where David came from and would later be crowned the King of Israel. For Christians, it is most holy as the birthplace of Jesus in a grotto in what is today the Church of the Nativity.

The Shepherds' Fields is a traditional site where Ruth gleaned grain, according to the Book of Ruth; and where the angels would later announce the birth of Jesus in nearby Bethlehem.

The Dead Sea is a unique and remarkable area. It is the lowest place on the surface of our planet. It's mineral-rich water and mud, combined with with healing hot springs, make the region a natural health spa. Being one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, everyone can float in it without any effort! Situated between Israel and the Palestinian Authority area on the west and Jordan on the east, this salt lake is fed by the Jordan River and winter flash-floods. In recent decades, however, the sea has receded dramatically creating sinkholes in the area.

Palm Sunday Road The Palm Sunday Road descends from the top of the Mount of Olives past the chapel of Dominus Flevit down to the Garden of Gethsemane in the Kidron Valley. it is the scene of the annual Palm Sunday Procession when Christian pilgrims walk down the route through the Lions' Gate along the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Located at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Shrine of the Book contains and displays the most important Biblical archeological discovery to date: the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Shrine with its symbolic architecture houses Israel's greatest national treasure. All the scrolls and artifacts from Qumran on display are genuine aside from the "Great Isaiah Scroll" (in the center of the dome) which is a copy-although a piece of the original parchment scroll is usually on display.

This beautiful cathedral is situated between Jaffa Gate and Zion Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. The church has very limited visiting hours (see below).

Neot Kedumim, the Biblical Landscape Reserve in Israel, is located halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. This unique recreation of the physical setting of the Bible in all its depth and detail allows visitors to see life as it was lived by our ancestors 3,000 years ago. More than a “garden” showing various plants, Neot Kedumim embodies the panorama and power of the landscapes which shaped the values of the Bible and provided the rich vocabulary for expressing those values. https://www.neot-kedumim.org.il/
