    I had an amazing time in Israel with our guide. He took us to all the best spots. I learned so much about Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions as well as gaining a better understanding of the political situation. The history, the religious sites, floating on the Dead Sea, and eating lots of hummus and schwarma all made for a memorable adventure.

    Much thanks to Jalal A.. for conducting an excellent tour! I would take another vacation with Jalal anytime! I learned so much and I was happy to connect with previous generations by touching the same stones, bricks, etc. Like I said to J., I would have his family over for supper anytime. Working with J. and the Palestinians and the Druze family reinforced for me that as a Jew I have no issues about forming friendships with those I am almost expected to be against.

    Primary reason I would recommend this type of travel was our guide, Naz. He made the trip unforgettable and I have not seen that level of service outside of g adventures.

    I want to be baptized in the river of jordan, is it possible to have during during the trip?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2016

      That would not be an option as part of the trip, so it would have to be something you would need to look into independently and organize during your free time on the tour.

      You can talk with the tour leader on day 1 of the tour as they are the local experts and they may be able to assist you with the arrangements.
