Uncommon tours in the Holy Land

Many people who travel to the Holy Land will see the major sacred sites such as the Church of the Nativity (the birth place of Christ), the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (the place of Christ’s crucifixion) or The Western Wall of the Second Jewish Temple (destroyed by Rome in 70 C.E.).

But what about the lesser known holy sites, the unique, special places that offer a more quite encounter with the holy? Below are three places you may want to ask your tour guide or company to visit on your next trip to the Holy Land.

St. George’s Monastery in the Valley of the Shadow of Death – A cliff-hanging complex carved into a sheer rock wall in the Judean Desert, overlooking an unexpectedly lush garden with olive and cypress trees, is one of the most striking sights of the Holy Land.
