ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Church of the Nativity
Your catholic Holy Land tour will begin with a visit to the Church of the Nativity, one of the world’s oldest churches, and its Catholic, Armenian and Greek Orthodox Christian chapels.

Milk Grotto
From the Church of the Nativity, your private tour guide will take you to the ‘Milk Grotto’, also known as the Franciscan Grotto of Lady Mary, a large underground cave with a Franciscan chapel built on top, believed to be the place where Mary and Joseph found refuge for Jesus from King Herod.

Bansky graffiti sighting.
We shift gears from Christian religion to street art politics and take you on a tour of Bansky’s work. The famed and reclusive British street artist took the city of Bethlehem by storm in 2005 and used the city’s walls to display his take on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Shepherd’s fields
In the outskirts of the city, we’ll take you to see Shepherd’s fields. Filled with beautiful shrines shrined and a stunning chapel, these fields are believed to be the place where the Shepherds saw the Star of Nativity on their way to visit Jesus.

Is it safe?

Yes. Bethlehem is the most touristic city in the Palestinian Authority and have lots of security guards and Palestinian police (Uniformed and undercover). However, if there will be any warning or security tension we will now about it in advance and act accordingly.
