Day 14: One Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem Tours
Today, our private Israel tours will officially start, focusing on the historical and religious relics of the country. At the agreed time, our English-speaking driver-guide will pick you up on time in your hotel lobby and drive to Mount Zion in the south of the city, to visit King David's Tomb, the Last Supper Room, Marco Tower and Dormition Abbey. Mount Zion is of great religious and historical value to Jews and Christians. It is a holy place for Christians, and the site of King David's Tomb is the holy place for Jews. Of all the kings of Israel, King David, the first Jewish king of Israel, is described as the most righteous king and a great warrior, musician and poet. The Tomb of King David is just a cenotaph. The sarcophagus is embroidered with patterns such as crowns and harps. Since King David's Tomb is the holy place in the Jewish religion, the pilgrims who come here every day will always fill the small burial chamber. The Marco Tower on the mountain is where the Room of Last Supper is located. Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion is thought to be the resting place of Jesus' mother Mary. Kaiser Wilhelm II bought the site from Sultan Abdul H II in 1898 and built the Dormition Abbey in 1910.

Then you will return to the Old City of Jerusalem to visit the Western Wall, the first holy place of the Jews, where the Jews whisper and read the Bible. For thousands of years, when Jews return from any corner of the world to Jerusalem, they would come to the Western Wall, crying, praying and saying their suffering in a low voice to seek for peace of mind, so it is also called the "Wailing Wall". It is said that this is also the closest place to God and if you write your wish and stuff it into the wall, God will help you achieve it.

Then you will follow Jesus's footsteps and walk along the Way of the Cross and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected according to legend. In the afternoon, you will head to the last stop of the Bethlehem and Jerusalem tour, Bethlehem – the birthplace of Jesus. This is also the holy place of Judaism and Christianity. Here the Church of the Nativity is considered to be one of the few buildings that have been well-preserved after a long period of ups and downs since the early days of Christianity, and the oldest Christian church to this day. In 2012, it was included in the World Cultural Heritage List. If time permits, your driver-guide will also take you to see the field of the shepherd who first embraced Jesus. Then the Bethlehem tour from Jerusalem ends. You will be transferred back to your hotel.

Day 15: One Day Nazareth and Sea of Galilee Tours
Welcome to the well-planned Nazareth tours! Your English-speaking driver-guide will pick you up on time in your hotel lobby, and then you'll drive about 1.5 hours north to Nazareth. Nazareth is the home of Jesus' father Saint Joseph, and mother Mary. Jesus spent his youth here. You will first visit the Church of Annunciation, the holy place for Christians and the biggest Christianity church in the Middle East. Built in 1966, the Church is in memory of the angel Gabriel reporting to the Virgin Mary the birth of Jesus and is the most eye-catching building in Nazareth. The walls of the church are inlaid with various images of Virgin Mary donated by churches from all over the world. The Church of the Annunciation is divided into two levels: the lower level is where Virgin Mary had ever lived, and the Annunciation took place there; on the upper level is the newly built church.

St. Joseph's Oratory locates next to the Church of Annunciation. Jesus once lived here. The classic feature of St. Joseph's Cathedral is the crutches. It is said that many old and sick people came here to worship with crutches. Because they were blessed by God, they did not need crutches when they left, so crutches were just left here. St. Joseph's Church was rebuilt on the former site and is divided into two levels. The upper level is used for religious ceremonies and prayers for believers, and the lower level is the site of the old church. It is said that St. Joseph's Oratory is also where Joseph had his carpentry workshop.

After visiting, you will depart Nazareth and head to the Sea of Galilee. In the Sea of Galilee tours, you will drive through Canaan to visit the Capernaum and the Church of the Multiplication at the foot of Mount Beatitude. The Bible records that Jesus ascended Mount Beatitude to preach the gospel to the people, which was the famous "Sermon on the Mountain". According to legend, Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish while preaching in Galilee. Inside the Church of the Multiplication, there are mosaic patterns depicting the fish and bread. Such images also appear on various local souvenirs. The church is unpretentious, and the floor of the church is inlaid with many local water birds, flowers and other patterns, which are unique and lifelike.

Then you will drive all the way through the Golan Heights, modern Tiberias, to the last stop of the Nazareth tours, Yardenit, where Jesus baptized. Being the baptism site of the Jordan River at the southern end of the Sea of Galilee, the Yardenit baptismal site is not deep and is about 15 meters (49 feet) wide. It is said that about 500,000 people come here every year to be baptized. You can see Christian baptism here if you are lucky. On the way back, you can see where the strata of Mount Tabur have changed. Finally, you will arrive at the hotel after about 1.5 hours' drive, and the one day Nazareth tours end.

Day 24: Tangier
After breakfast, go on your Tangier tours to observe the enchantment of this seaside city, which is connected to the Strait of Gibraltar. The Tangier Kasbah, aka old city, is a good choice to observe daily life of locals, like intensive housing construction, bustling markets, and motley crowds.

After that, visit the Tomb of Ibn Battuta and the Tangier American Legation Museum. The museum houses vast collections of old maps, furniture, oil paintings and art works that shows its colonial past. Later, proceed to the Kasbah Museum, which is dedicated to exhibit precious works of art and cultural relics from the past dynasties of Morocco. The remaining time is at leisure for some pictures.

Day 25: Tangier - Chefchaouen
This morning, we will drive to the fairytale blue city, Chefchaouen. En route, make a stopover at Tetouan, famous for the coexistence of Spanish-style buildings, Andalusian-style architecture and after-independence style constructions.

Upon arrival in Chefchaouen, wander around the Outa-el-Hammam, the cobblestone medina, and the Tarik-Ben-Ziad Mosque in succession to seize the unique folk customs and romantic atmosphere. Certainly, take some photos to leave your Tangier tours to Chefchaouen an unforgettable memory.
