Accompany BZD alongside our fantastic tour guide, Jacob Shoshan, for our “season finale” tour as we experience a side of Israel you have never seen before. Come on a 5-day journey and experience biblical and modern Israel, famous tourist sites, off-the-beaten-path sites, and hidden gems. See the Old City of Jerusalem, Ayalon Institute, Rosh Ha’Nikra, Akko, Sderot Indoor Recreation Center, Be’er Sheva, Timna Park, and more without even leaving your house! It’s the next, best thing.
