  • Israel and Jordan We Are Dedicated to Making Your Experience Rich in Content and Superior in Comfort
    A Program of the Museum of Jewish Heritage The Israel Less Traveled + Ancient Petra & Jerash Israel and Jordan We are dedicated to making your experience rich in content and superior in comfort. December 4-15, 2018 This unique travel program combines the expertise and resources of two organizations that cherish the traditions, achievements, and faith of Jewish communities – past and present – around the world. Jewish Heritage Travel and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are delighted to have the opportunity to share this rich, varied, and poignant history and culture with you on these select trips. We look forward to traveling with you. Program Overview Our trip will begin in Jerusalem – where ancient history mingles with modern-day life and stirs our emotions like no other place on earth. From Jerusalem, we will head south to Mitzpe Ramon—Israel’s Grand Canyon, a spectacular site where thousands of birds migrating from Europe to Africa stop to rest each year and where we will pause and enjoy our stay at Beresheet—a world class hotel and spa situated high above the Machtesh (canyon). En route, we will visit Avdat- a UNESCO World Heritage- built by the Nabataeans in the 2nd Century CE and seldom seen by most tourists. From Mitzpe Ramon, we will drive to Eilat and cross the border to Jordan where we will tour the ancient “rose red” city of Petra— carved out of solid rock, surrounded by soaring temples and elaborate Royal Tombs. Following our stay in Petra, en route to returning to Tel Aviv, we will stop at Mount Nebo—where Moses is said to have been shown the Promised Land…which he would not reach.
