June 5 to 15, 2012 • Israel: Masada, Fortifications of King Herod, Dead Sea.
Three Night Post-Tour Option in Jordan:
Petra and Amman.
Join Peter and Kathleen van de Graaff for two once-in-a-lifetime musical performances—Carmen, under the night sky at Masada’s first-century fortifications of King Herod, overlooking the Dead Sea, and London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring renowned pianist Fazil Say.
WFMT, along with Chicago-based premier tour operator Gohagan & Company are proud to offer this 11-day, specially designed travel program to explore the Ancient Civilizations of Israel. Highlights include attending the world-class opera "Carmen" at Masada, a must-do for opera aficionados and music lovers; and visits to four UNESCO World Heritage sites—the “White City” of Tel Aviv, stunning Masada, the magnificent Bahá’í Gardens of Haifa, and the Old City of Jerusalem. Here, in the desert, on the mountains and along the shores, four major world religions flourished and defined human intellect. Walk the lands of the Old and New Testaments, where Moses' descendents settled, the Apostle Paul preached and Jesus performed miracles. Float on the Dead Sea and explore the Roman Ruins in Bet She’an and see the cave in Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were unearthed. Tour New and Old Jerusalem and see the most important cultural landmarks of this historic city.
A highlight of the three-night Jordan, Post-Tour Option is a visit to the ancient “rose-red” city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Hotel accommodations are deluxe throughout the program. We encourage you to book now as space is limited!
