Lectures and tours in the footsteps of King Herod

Come hear about one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the Jewish people

One of the individuals who left an indelible mark on the landscape of this land was King Herod. Herod, as a representative of Rome, embarked on an ambitious mission during his lengthy reign. Over the course of approximately 40 years, he constructed a plethora of remarkable edifices, designed to both glorify the name of his Roman patrons and leave his own enduring legacy. Among his notable creations were cities, temples, forts, palaces, and even hippodromes, showcasing his vision and power.

Herod's reign was characterized by a complex mix of oppression and tyranny, but it also offered a degree of relative security and economic stability. In the land of Israel, numerous sites bear witness to the grandeur of his era, with impressive remnants that still stand today. The time of Herod played a pivotal role in shaping the emergence of Christianity and the eruption of the Great Rebellion.

We invite you to embark on a thematic tour that traces the footsteps of King Herod. This immersive journey spans three days, taking you through the Judean Desert, the heart of Jerusalem, and the coastal region of Caesarea.

Our comprehensive trip includes a jeep tour, a serene float on the Dead Sea, exploration of water tunnels, a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean (in season), and so much more. Additionally, we offer captivating lectures and tours delving into the life and times of Herod, offering deeper insights into this remarkable chapter of history.
