The Yad Vashem Museum and Mt. Zion are just two of the many highlights of this rewarding full-day program.

From the pier, your air-conditioned motor coach will take a one-hour journey across the Judean Mountains and the road of courage to Jerusalem.  Pass the Israeli Parliament (Kneeset) en route o the new city, where you'll see exterior views of the Presidential Mansion.  then, after crossing the Hinnom Valley, you'll arrive at King David's tomb atop Mt. Zion.

Your coach will then head for the old city where you'll disembark for a 90-minute walking tour.  the Cardo, or restored Jewish quarter, and the Western Wall will be among the many featured highlights before you adjourn to a hotel for lunch.  In the afternoon, you'll take a brief ride to the Hadassa Medical Center to view the famed Chagal windows depicting the twelve tribes of Israel.

The Yad Vashem Sanctuary, the Temple of memories, silently rises on Remembrance Mount.   It is dedicated to the millions of Jews who died during the holocaust.  a most impressive and complete documentary collection illustrating the anti-Semitic persecutions from 1933 to 1945 is housed within its informative museum.  Later, you'll visit the children's memorial.

After this enriching day to some of the world's most meaningful sites, you'll return to Crystal Symphony at Ashdod.

Approximately 8 hours.
