If you are thinking of taking a tour in the Holy Land you may wonder what things are best to see and do. Most people get very excited about a trip here, simply because it offers them an opportunity to see the places where Jesus and his disciples walked, where Moses led his followers out of Egypt, and where John the Baptist baptized Jesus and his new followers. There are so many things to see and do in the Holy Land it is hard to know where to start and what sites are most important to catch. Some people find it easier and more helpful to take a guided tour on their trip to the Holy Land. A guided tour sets up an itinerary for you to look at before you go on your trip so that you know what you will see and what you can expect on your trip. You also have the benefit of having a tour guide that knows all the particulars about the areas you are going to see, things you may or may not know yourself.

The other reason to go on a guided tour is that not all areas in the Holy Land are safe and tour guides know where those areas are, a guided tour is the best way to make your pilgrimage safely. While in the Holy Land there are a number of things you should make a point of seeing, Jerusalem of course is a must see, as is Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives, and the Garden of Gethsemane. In Jerusalem you will want to go see the room that held the last supper as well as the Wailing Wall. You will want to walk the same path that Jesus did on his entrance into Jerusalem as well as take the final walk he took to his crucifixion. Outside of Jerusalem thee is the Dead Sea area, as well as making a visit to the area where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. You might want to stop by Golgotha and the tomb where Jesus was believed to be buried.

There are so many more sites to be seen such as the place where the disciples gave their Pentecost sermon and of course who can forget the Lake of Galilee, the holy land is rich with memories, history and culture to keep you busy for your entire trip. While deciding on your trip to the Holy Land keep in mind that a group tour will make sure that you see all of these sites, as well as many more. If you are planning to travel to the Holy Land on your own be sure to make plans before hand to ensure both a fulfilling trip as well as a safe one.
