For those participating in the Habitat Jordan build from April 21-28, this tour offer the opportunity to expand the hiking portion of your itinerary with a 7-day walking tour of the Holy Land. Those not participating in the Habitat build may extend their Holy Land visit by three days for a complete introduction to the land of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The pilgrimage begins with a walk down the Mount of Olives and through the Old City of Jerusalem, catching the highlights of this magnificent city. We continue with a four-day hike from Nazareth to Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee, walking across the country much like Jesus did. Habitat volunteers will be transferred to your hotel in Amman while other pilgrims will continue the journey hiking in the Judean Wilderness, wading in the Jordan River, bobbing in the Dead Sea, and visiting holy sites in Bethlehem and Jerusalem. See a detailed itinerary using the drop-down menu, below.

Please note that this pilgrimage includes up to 15-18 kilometers (9-12 miles) of walking or hiking daily. The weather in Israel in April can be hot during the middle of the day. Travelers must have the ability to walk the appointed distance carrying a day pack with at least 2 liters of water.
