Northern Israel is filled with important sites dating back to the New Testament—but seeing them all, especially with limited time, is a challenge for travelers unfamiliar with the region and without their own transportation.

Delve into three of Israel's historical port cities and the enchanting Rosh Hanikra grottos on this full-day trip from Tel Aviv.

The day trip also passes the site of the New Testament parable of the Good Samaritan, and ancient city of Jericho.

Israel’s green, stunning Galilee region is filled with New Testament sites. But moving around requires a car—and familiarity with the region.
