Базилику смотрим внешне! «И Ангелу Пергамской церкви напиши: так говорит Имеющий острый с обеих сторон меч: знаю твои дела, и что ты живешь там, где престол сатаны, и что содержишь имя Мое, и не отрекся от веры Моей даже в те дни, в которые у вас, где живет сатана, умерщвлен верный свидетель Мой Антипа» (Откр. 2:12-13). Пергам, древнегреческий город и одна из семи церквей («церкви» в этом контексте относятся к сообществу христиан, живущих в каждом городе, а не только к зданию или зданиям, в которых они собирались для поклонения. Здесь мы исследуем Археологический парк (Большой Пергамский алтарь находится в Пер- гамском музее. Основание этого алтаря остается в верхней части Акрополя. Считается, что он был по- священ Зевсу, который Иоанн Патмосский назвал «Троном Сатаны» в вышеупомянутом Священном Писании, Красная Церковь (великий храм египетских богов Исиды, известный сегодня как «Красная базилика» и состоящий из главного здания и двух круглых башен на огромной священной территории, в первом веке нашей эры – христианская церковь в Пергаме, Акрополь (состоящий из верхнего и ниж- него Акрополя и многочисленных построек) и святилище Асклепиона (где люди с проблемами здоро- вья могли искупаться в водах священного источника; на месте было найдено много подарков и посвя- щений, таких как небольшие терракотовые части тела, несомненно, представляющие то, что было ис- целено). Переезд в Айвалык. Заселение в отель в городе Айвалык. Ужин. ДЕНЬ 5 Ранний завтрак. Выселение из отеля. Сегодня мы начнем с древних руин в Измире (Смирна), богатых историей, а также одной из семи церквей Откровения «Се, стою у двери и стучу: если кто услышит голос Мой и отворит дверь, войду к нему, и буду вечерять с ним, и он со Мною» (Откр. 3:20). Трансфер в Сельджук. Древний Эфес. Этим утром мы отправимся в древний город Эфес, одну из семи церквей в Откровении (Откр. 1:11), который в течение многих лет был вторым по величине городом Римской империи, уступал только Риму. Находясь в Эфесе, мы осмотрим его многочисленные исторически богатые достопримечательности, включая Храм Артемиды (Дианы), фонтан Траяна, Термы Сколастики, Храм Адриана, Библиотеку Цельса и Большой театр – который вмещал 25000 зрителей (первоначально использовался для драмы, но в более поздние римские времена для гладиаторских боев), где проповедовал Павел и где произошли бунты серебряников. Мы прогуляемся по Аркадскому Пути, где когда-то в процессии ехали Марк Антоний и Клеопатра. Далее мы посетим древние руины Милета. Этот город является родиной архитектора Свя- той Софии (и изобретателя аркбутана) Исидора Милетского. Далее посетим Храм апостола Иоанна Богослова и место погребение апостола согласно традиции. Трансфер в Кушадасы и заселение в гостинице Кушадасы. Ужин. ДЕНЬ 6 Завтрак. Выселение из отеля. Свободное время в Кушадасы. Переезд в Памукале. Заселение в спа отель. Ужин. Отдых ДЕНЬ 7 «Знаю твои дела; ты ни холоден, ни горяч; о, если бы ты был холоден, или горяч! Но, как ты тепл, а не горяч и не холоден, то извергну тебя из уст Моих… Кого Я люблю, тех обличаю и наказываю. Итак будь ревностен и покайся» (Откр. 3:15-16, 19). Сегодня мы увидим Лаодикию, од- ну из семи церквей, которую наказывали за то, что она теплая. Археологические раскопки около Ла- одикии до сих пор свидетельствуют о ее былом величии: относительно хорошо сохранившиеся стади- он, спортзал и театры. Мы также остановимся у руин Хиераполиса (еще одно известное место с горя- чими источниками), куда Павел принес благую весть (Кол. 4:13). Посмотрим на травертины Памукале и посетим Бассейн Клеопатры – это удивительное место: еще во времена Римской империи бассейны посещали богатые и знатные римляне, так как считали горячие источники Памуккале лечебными. Го- раздо позднее выяснили, что вода источников действительно полезна: она лечит болезни кровообра- щения, артриты, кожные заболевания. А о мгновенном омоложении говорят все . Ужин. Отдых. ДЕНЬ 8 Ранний Завтрак. Выселение из отеля. «То, что видишь, напиши в книгу и пошли церквам, находящимся в Асии: в Ефес, и в Смирну, и в Пергам, и в Фиатиру, и в Сардис, и в Филадельфию, и в Лаодикию» (Откр. 1:11). Сегодня мы начнем с посещения церкви в Филадельфии (Аласехир), еще одну из семи церквей От- кровения, чтобы увидеть древнюю христианскую церковь - остатки византийской базилики, построен- ной из кирпича с фресками 11 века. Далее следует Сардис, древний город, значение которого было троекратным: во-первых, его военная мощь, во-вторых, его расположение на важной магистрали, ведущей из внутренних районов к побережью Эгейского моря, и в-третьих, его владение широкой и плодородной равниной Гермуса. Каким бы важным ни был Сардис, Иоанн ругал город (Откр. 3:1-6). В Сардисе мы исследуем массивный храм Артемиды, белую мраморную королев- скую дорогу, впечатляющий тренажерный зал и синагогу, где с 1958 года Гарвардский и Корнеллский университеты спонсировали ежегодные археологические экспедиции. В ходе этих раскопок была об- наружена, пожалуй, самая впечатляющая синагога в западной диаспоре, обнаруженная с древних вре- мен, где было обнаружено более восьмидесяти греческих и семь еврейских надписей, а также много- численные мозаичные полы. Далее посетим Фиатиру и отправимся в г. Акхисар. Акхисар упоминается в Библии как Фиатира (греч. Θυάτειρα) – одна из Церквей Апокалипсиса).. Размещение в отеле в Стамбуле. Поздний ужин. ДЕНЬ 9 Завтрак. Выезд из отеля. Трансфер в аэропорт. Вылет из Стамбула «Бодрствуйте, стойте в вере, будьте мужественны, тверды. Все у вас да будет с любовью» (1Кор. 16:13-14). * Маршрут, а также очередность посещения мест может быть изменены в связи с карантинными ограничениями, а также в целях безопасности либо в связи с ремонтными работами на дорогах.

DAY 2 Arrive in Tel Aviv and transfer to Bethlehem for dinner and overnight. DAY 3 Follow in the footsteps of Paul and Silas to Amphipolis and explore the ruins of the many Christian basilicas there. In Philippi is a baptismal site commemorating where God opened the heart of Lydia (a seller of purple from Thyatira) to hear the words of Paul (Acts 16:13 -15). Lydia and her household were the first Christian converts baptized on European soil. View the Roman-era crypt thought to have served as a prison for the Apostle Paul, and explore Philippi’s famous Acropolis, marketplace, the Basilica of Paul, and theater. Today’s last stop is Neapolis (Kavala), one of Greece’s most picturesque mainland ports, where Paul landed with his disciples, Timothy and Silas. See the Roman aqueduct and acropolis before returning to Thessaloniki for dinner and overnight. DAY 4 Discover Thessaloniki, where Paul was accused of turning the world upside down with his preaching of Christ (Acts 17: 3 -6). As you explore St. George’s Basilica, believed to be built over the synagogue where Paul preached, reflect on the two epistles the Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church here. Stroll through the archaeological museum and the beautiful basilicas of St. Sophia and St. Demetrios. St. Demetrios is dedicated to a distinguished Roman proconsul martyred for his Christian faith. Along the Via Egnatia stands the Galerius Arch, where you can look out over the second-largest city in Greece from the Old City Ramparts, some dating back to Roman times. Follow the path of Paul when he fled Thessaloniki for the safety of Veria (Berea), where Jews and some honorable Greeks accepted the new faith (Acts 17: 10 -12). Continue on to Kalambaka for dinner and overnight. DAY 5 Daily Itinerary As you visit the rock forest of Meteora (“in the heavens above”) in western Thessaly, imagine the Apostle Paul walking that treacherous terrain on his missionary journey. Gaze up at the breathtaking Byzantine monasteries spectacularly perched on soaring, sheer-sided gray sandstone pillars. In the 13th century, monks sought refuge in cliffside caves before fleeing higher to build the original wooden shelters that later became these monasteries. After a monastery tour, travel to scenic Delphi, the religious center of the ancient Greek world and marked by the conical stone called the omphalos (“navel”). Walk the Sacra Via to the Athenian treasury, theatre, and the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle performed her prophetic rituals. As you consider the incredible amount of pagan influence just in Delphi alone, you will gain a new appreciation for the tremendous spiritual opposition the Apostle Paul faced in preaching the Gospel of Christ here. In the museum are many ancient treasures, including the fifth-century, bronzed charioteer so detailed you can see his eyelashes. Continue to Athens for overnight. DAY 6 Tour the city of Corinth, where the Apostle Paul met fellow tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla and received a vision from the Lord saying, “I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city” (Acts 18: 10). As Paul spoke, Crispus (chief ruler of the synagogue) and many others believed and were baptized (Acts 18:8), establishing the church at Corinth to whom Paul later wrote his two epistles. Discover the archaeological museum, marketplace, and temples. As you walk among the ruins, stand on the Bema, where the Apostle Paul stood before Gallio to face charges brought against him by the Jews. Stop briefly at the port town of Cenchreae, from which Paul later departed for Syria (Acts 18: 12-18). Return to Athens for dinner and overnight. DAY 7 (Note – Cruise extension passengers will depart from the group this morning and head to Piraeus for their cruise ship) Enjoy the rich architectural splendor of the ancient city of Athens as your guide introduces you to the world-renowned Acropolis, the Propylaea, the Parthenon, and the Erectheum. Stand on Mars Hill as the Apostle Paul did when he proclaimed, “I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, therefore, ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you” (Acts 17:23). As you stroll the agora (ancient marketplace and center of Athenian public life), recall that this was where the Apostle Paul preached “Jesus and the resurrection” (Acts 17:18) to the skeptical Athenians. Also, see the House of Parliament, the Presidential Palace, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This afternoon, you are free to explore Athens on your own or enjoy an optional journey to Sounion to visit the famous Temple of Poseidon (an additional $75). Dinner and overnight is spent in Athens. DAY 8 Return home with a new understanding of the apostle Paul's life and ministry. Enhance Your Journey Greek lsle Cruise Extension- starting from $1695 Days 7-11 i Starting at $1,695* Day 7 – EMBARK IN PIRAEUS & MYKONOS Board the ship and sail the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. In the evening, you will arrive at the world-famous Greek Island of Mykonos, where gleaming white-washed buildings seem to climb atop each other to reach the azure sky. *Shore excursions today will be booked directly through Celestyal Cruise Line and are not included Day 8 – EPHESUS & PATMOS This morning, you arrive in Kusadasi, Turkiye, and journey to Ephesus, where the Apostle Paul spent three years of his ministry. He planted a church here and later wrote to them in his Epistle to the Ephesians. Many of the ruins of Ephesus (known as “the marble city”) have been restored to show the city as it was in the apostle Paul’s time. Visit the agora and imagine where Demetrius the silversmith, sold his silver shrines of the Greek goddess Artemis. Stroll through the great theater where Paul witnessed faithfully for Christ. Not far away is the stadium where chariot races took place and gladiatorial combats were held. Tradition has it that the Apostle Paul himself fought here against wild beasts. Visit the ruins of St. John’s Basilica, where early Christian tradition tells us the “disciple whom Jesus loved” was buried. View one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”, the ruins of the Temple of Diana (Artemis) before setting sail for the Island of Patmos to visit the Monastery of St. John, high on the mountain overlooking the entire island. Walk down to the Grotto of the Apocalypse and the caves where it is believed that the exiled Apostle John lived and was inspired by God to write the Book of Revelation as well as other letters to the early church. Day 9 – CRETE & SANTORINI Dock this morning in Crete’s port of Heraklion, just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. Disembark at Santorini, one of the most beautiful of the Greek islands, where picturesque whitewashed villages topped with brilliant blue domes stand in stark contrast to the sheer drop cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. The island itself perches on the edges of a volcano whose eruption 3,500 years ago is thought to have led to the collapse of the Minoan civilization. *Shore excursions today will be booked directly through Celestyal Cruise Line and are not included Day 10 – ATHENS Enjoy the rich architectural splendor of the ancient city of Athens as your guide introduces you to the world-renowned Acropolis, the Propylaea, the Parthenon, and the Erectheum. Stand on Mars Hill as the Apostle Paul did when he proclaimed, "I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you" (Acts 17:23).

Meals served on board. DAY 2 Upon arrival in Tel Aviv, we clear passport control, meet our guide, and travel by private motorcoach northeast across Israel to the famous Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-10; Mark 7:31-32). Here in the ancient city of Tiberias (John 21:1-3) we enjoy dinner and retire for our first night in the Holy Land. Tomorrow is a big day! DAY 3 Today’s travel takes us to the furthest limits of northeastern Israel, and it is breathtaking! Along the way we visit where Jesus preached and pronounced a curse upon Chorazin (Matthew 11:21-22; Luke 10:13). Our drive continues to the northern limits of Jesus’s travels, where we combine a nature walk beside the Upper Jordan with views of the ancient ruins of Dan. We then take a leisurely walk along one of the three tributaries of the Jordan River at Banias (Caesarea Philippi), where Peter made his great confession about Jesus (Matthew 16:13-20). After lunch, we drive along the foot of Mount Hermon and ascend onto the Golan Plateau for a magnificent view of Upper Israel. In the afternoon, we travel back towards the Sea of Galilee to the town of Magdala. This hometown of Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2) was frequently visited by Jesus, and it contains one of the oldest synagogues in the world. We conclude our day at our hotel with dinner and overnight. DAY 4 This morning we sail on a replica wooden boat from Jesus’s day and float where Jesus walked (Matthew 14:22-33)! We also have a chance see the New Testament boat found below the sea. We then proceed on land to view many biblical sites, including the ancient city of Capernaum (Matthew 9:1). We walk the shore of Tabgha (John 21:4-17) and we read the Sermon on the Mount...on the mount itself (Matthew 5-7)! In the afternoon, we travel south from the Sea of Galilee along an often traveled route for Jesus until we arrive at Beit She’an. Here we see evidence of Egyptian, Roman, and Byzantine occupations, as well as ancient architecture and church mosaics. From here, time permitting, we may walk up to the top of Mount Gilboa, where King Saul and his two sons were slain (1 Samuel 31:10-13). Our final stop for the day is the River Jordan (Joshua 3:15-17; 2 Kings 5:10-14), where travelers with a pastor may be baptized in a similar fashion as Jesus was to begin His ministry (Matthew 3:13-17). We then return to the hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 5 This morning we depart westward from the region of the Sea of Galilee and travel through Cana of Galilee, where Jesus performed His first miracle (John 2:1). We continue to Jesus’s childhood town of Nazareth (Luke 1:26-27) and ascend Mount Precipice (Luke 4:29-30) for a panoramic view of the famed Jezreel Valley. We also visit the Mount of Megiddo, where 34 battles have been fought over 4,000 years, with the great final battle yet to come: the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). From there we travel to Mount Carmel, site of Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). Our day is capped off with a tour of the Mediterranean coast city of Caesarea Maritima and the great Roman Aqueduct from 10 BC (Acts 25:11-14, 23). After our visit to this ancient harbor, we travel up the historic Beth Horon road (Joshua 10:10) to the Benjamin Plateau, passing ancient Gibeon (Joshua 9) and continuing on to Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:1-2). Finally, atop Mount Scopus, we behold majestic Jerusalem. We then check in to our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 6 After breakfast we drive along the Dead Sea and ascend to the ancient fortress of Masada. It is here where Jewish defenders in the first century AD made their last stand in the Judean revolt against Rome. We see the remains of storehouses, cisterns, and a sixth-century Byzantine church. We follow the coast of the Dead Sea, the lowest point in the world at 1,300 feet below sea level. Time permitting, we’ll proceed to the pleasant walking trail of Ein Gedi, where David found refreshment during his escape from King Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-12; Psalm 63). Our tour continues to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea scrolls were found, the most significant archeological discovery of the 20th century. After lunch we have the opportunity to relax and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Next we travel to Jericho, the world’s oldest city (Joshua 6; Matthew 20:29-34). From the excavated tel atop the ruins of ancient Jericho we view the lush green Jordan Valley, Elisha’s Spring, and Qarantal, the traditional Mount of Temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). We drive back to our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 7 Following breakfast we take a group photo on the Mount of Olives while enjoying a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem. We then begin retracing the steps of Jesus (Psalm 132:13-14) at Dominus Flevit (“Our Lord Weeps”). Our walk descends the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane, where we take time to meditate on the Gospel text of Jesus’s agony and view the Church of All Nations (Matthew 26:36-50). We then enter the Old City and make our way to the Western Wall, the last remaining outer wall of the ancient Jewish temple (Ezra 4:3; John 2:20). We head south along the wall to the Southern Steps where Jesus entered on countless occasions. We continue to Bethlehem and visit one of the possible sites of the Shepherds’ Fields (Luke 2:8-14). We then walk through the restored old town of Bethlehem to the Church of the Nativity, and we visit the manger and see the adjoining cave of Saint Jerome. We drive back to Jerusalem for dinner and overnight. DAY 8 After breakfast, we enter the Old City through the Dung Gate (Jeremiah 19:2) and ascend to the Temple Mount, where the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque are located. This, the holiest of sites in the world, is the location of countless biblical events, including where Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22:11-14; 2 Samuel 24:16-25). Walking off the Mount, just to the north, we find the Pool of Bethesda, the perfectly preserved Church of Saint Anne (John 5:1-9), and the start of the Via Dolorosa. Continuing on, we see Pilate’s Judgment Hall, the Chapel of Flagellation, Lithostrotos, and the Arch of Ecce Homo (“Behold the Man”). We follow the movement of Jesus on his pre-crucifixion journey along the Via Dolorosa (John 18:28), winding through the modern day bazaars on our way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We go on to Mount Zion (Psalm 125:1) where, time permitting, we’ll visit the Upper Room (Matthew 26:1-129) and the Tomb of King David. We continue to the grounds of a church called Peter in Gallicantu, which affords the best view of early Jerusalem from the west. Here, as some suggest, was the house where the High Priest Caiaphas interrogated Jesus (John 18:19-38). Later, we pay a visit to the Garden Tomb for private communion, prayer, and worship (John 19:38-42; 20:1-10) before returning to our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 9 This morning we begin our journey home, reveling in our unforgettable experiences in the Holy Land. Our hearts are full; we walked in the footsteps of Jesus, and we will never be the same (Numbers 6:24–26). *The trip will take place in case of a group of 16 people * * The route, as well as the order of visiting places, may be changed due to quarantine restrictions, as well as for safety reasons or due to the weather, road repair work etc. Reviews

A group tour refers to a travel arrangement in which a group of people, typically more than a certain number (commonly 20 or more individuals), travel together on a pre-planned itinerary. Group tours can encompass various types of travel experiences, including sightseeing tours, cultural excursions, adventure trips, educational journeys, and more. Key features of a group tour include: Pre-Planned Itinerary: The travel itinerary is usually organized in advance, outlining the destinations to be visited, activities, accommodations, and other details. So you will need to be part of that and can not be flexible. Group Size: As mentioned, a group tour involves a specific number of participants. The size can vary from 16 to 50, but the shared experience distinguishes it from individual or small private tours. Guide or Tour Leader: Group tours often include a guide or tour leader who accompanies the group, providing information about the destinations, coordinating logistics, and ensuring the smooth execution of the itinerary. Shared Experiences: Participants in a group tour share the travel experience with others in the group. This can lead to a sense of camaraderie and the opportunity to meet new people. Cost Savings: Group tours may offer cost savings compared to individual travel, as group discounts can be negotiated for accommodations, transportation, and activities. Structured Schedule: Group tours typically follow a set schedule, with specific departure and arrival times, meal schedules, and planned activities. This structure can be appealing for travelers who prefer a well-organized experience. Inclusions: Group tours often include various elements such as accommodations, transportation, guided tours, and some meals in a bundled package. This can simplify the travel planning process for participants. Examples of group tours include guided faith-based tours, escorted cultural excursions, adventure tours, and educational trips organized by Favor travel. Do I need a travel insurance?

While this will vary, expect to walk 1-3 miles daily over varying terrain (stairs, cobble-stone, etc.). This will be intermittent and often there will be somewhere to pause for rest. If you are concerned about the difficulty, please discuss this with your travel advisor. Am I fit enough to travel? What if I have mobility issues? Passengers registered for the tour accept the responsibility for being in good health and able to walk and travel on the tour. Because many of the sites are not accessible to the physically challenged, those needing oxygen, wheelchairs or other ambulatory assistance will find the tour extremely limiting to their experience. Guides, drivers and other staff are not permitted to assist with wheelchairs or the like for liability reasons. Will my tour schedule change? We do allow flexibility for your tour guide to alter the schedule to give you the best experience. Also due to security reasons, weather or issues with roads, etc. tour schedule may be changed. Have any lectures or special services been planned? Please refer to your brochure and/or detailed itinerary, which will be in your final document booklet PDF. In some tours – yes, in some – no. How can I call home? Calls may be made from your hotel room phone for a fee. You may also either rent an international cell phone or bring your own cell phone with you. If you are able to make calls using WiFi, we recommend simply putting your phone on airplane mode in order to avoid international calling charges. NOTE: Contact your wireless carrier to find out if your phone will work overseas and, if so, what the rates will be. Will I have Internet access? Nearly all hotels will offer internet access (charges may apply). Please see the front desk for current rates. Also, many touring motorcoaches have onboard WiFi. A Note on Electricity… You will need an international adapter (2 round prongs, Type C or a 3 round prong Type H) & converter set to safely use your electronics. Israel, Turkey, Greece and all European countries uses 220 volts, vs. 110 in the USA. Note: Some devices are “dual-voltage” and do not need the converter. Check your specific device to see if a converter will be necessary for you. Use caution with devices that heat up, such as flat irons and hair dryers as they can ruin your converter and appliance. It is best to purchase the kind that can run on 220 volts with the flip of a switch. Will I be able to hear my guide? For your convenience, we are providing headsets to your group (if 20 or more are traveling on the tour). These will allow you to stay connected to your guide, even in crowded or noisy areas. For your comfort ,you may use your own headphones if you do not find the provided set to be comfortable. What should I wear on my Christian tour or cruise? We recommend comfortable, breathable clothing. In most cases, wear what you wear at home. A hat, sunglasses and a rain poncho are also a good idea. Some days will involve long rides and/or a lot of walking. So, comfortable shoes are a must! NOTE: At many holy sites, both men and women are expected to have their shoulders and knees covered. Please check with your guide for any clothing restrictions for the following day. Is the water safe to drink? Please ask your guide upon arrival if your destination has safe, potable water. As many of our guests visit Israel during their travels, we can say that Israel has safe drinking water. But our recommendation to drink only bottled water in another countries to avoid any reactions of your body. What will the weather be like? There is no way to predict the weather; therefore, we recommend checking www. weather.com before your departure to get an idea of current temperatures and conditions for the cities you will be visiting. Although the climates we visit are typically dry during spring, summer, and fall, we recommend packing rain protection. Will I be able to shop while the tour? Yes, time will be allotted for shopping during the tour. Please be courteous of others while shopping, and be aware of when the group and bus are ready to leave. NOTE: Any purchases made are at your own risk. We are not responsible for your dissatisfaction with any purchases. Guides are not authorized to recommend any stores or shops on our behalf. What is VAT in Israel? VAT (Value Added Tax) is a sales tax of at least 17% that is charged for most goods in Israel. This amount is part of the price and, is not added at the register. It is possible to claim back most of this tax for Israel. The best way to do this is to see if the retailer you are buying from is affiliated with tax-free shopping. If so, they will give you instructions for your refund. Generally, all you have to do is collect a completed form (receipt) from the store, which lists your purchases. You MUST have this form stamped by customs when you leave the country. At the airport you will find VAT refund desk and they will explain what to do. What about using traveler’s checks and credit cards while travelling? We do not recommend the use of traveler’s checks as you may experience difficulty using and/or cashing them. You may also be subject to significant handling fees. Credit cards can be used for most purchases. IMPORTANT: Before you travel, contact your bank or credit card company to notify them about your travel plans to avoid difficulty using your card overseas. Will ATM machines be available? ATMs are available at local banks and at most hotels. You will receive funds in the local currency. NOTE: You will likely be charged a fee and may be subject to daily withdrawal limits. Please, check fee and limits with your Bank. What type of currency is used? Please check your destinations’ currency on their ministry of tourism website. If traveling to Israel, Shekels are used; however, in Israel, US currency is widely accepted. We suggest you take a good supply of small bills: $1s, $5s, $10s, etc. How much money should I bring? Not included in your tour package are the following: lunches, spending money, optional tipping, and tips for the guide and driver. We suggest at least $500 USD to cover these and any miscellaneous expenses, but it is a personal decision. Should I exchange money before I go? This may or may not be necessary, depending on your destination, but if you prefer to have local currency, you can exchange it at your local bank or the airport. Currency exchange may not be available at the hotel, so if you plan to exchange, do so before you leave or at the airport of arrival. Guide and Driver tipping? Unless specified otherwise on your brochure, there will be a voluntary tip collected for your guide and driver. While in Israel, the suggested amount is $5-7 per person per day for your guide and $4-6 per person per day for your driver. Your group leader will pass around an envelope for this collection near the end of the tour. What about tipping? Unless otherwise stated on your brochure, prepaid gratuities have been collected for the porters as well as the hotel dining, housekeeping, and front desk staff. However, if you request any special services from the staff, an additional tip of $1-3 or so would also be appropriate for your lunches and occasional other services (such as using the restroom at a church). Your guide will let you know when this is appropriate. TICKETS AND FLIGHTS What airline will be used? We have contracts with many IATA carriers. Your flight schedule will be available approximately 45-30 days prior to departure. What about frequent flier miles? Unfortunately, we are not able to process miles towards your flights and/or up-grades. However, you may earn miles for your flights. To do so, please provide a agent with your frequent flier number at check-in. Information about your airline’s frequent flier program is available on the airline’s website. May I request special seating and/or meals on my flights? YES. Requests should be submitted to our office in writing at least 105 days prior to departure. However, we cannot guarantee that your requests will be honored. It is ultimately the airline’s decision. What if I miss my flight or it is cancelled on the day of the departure? Contact us immediately. After that, speak to a gate agent to see when the next available flight will be. It is the airline’s responsibility to get you to your destination as soon as possible. Once you have your new schedule, be sure to call our office so we can let our overseas staff know when to expect you and so we can arrange a new transfer time for your group if necessary. Who is responsible for any airline schedule changes and/or expenses? All flight times are subject to change by the airlines without advance notice. We are not responsible for changes and/or delays in airline schedules or any expenses associated with such changes. NOTE: Should you incur any expenses due to a scheduling change, make sure to keep your receipts as you may be able to be reimbursed through your travel protection policy if you chose to purchase one. When may I receive my flight information? Flight information is available approximately 30 days prior to departure. Your travel advisor will remit your final documents to you. Please contact your advisor for questions about their standard way of remittance. What if I booked my own flights? Please be advised that Favor Travel Tours & Tickets has only scheduled transfers between the airport and the hotel for those who book their flights through FTT&T. If you elect to purchase your own flights as a “Ground Only” passenger, you are ultimately responsible for securing transportation between the airport and the hotel, both for your arrival and departure. We recommend guests discuss purchasing a separate FTT&T transfer package with their travel advisor. Otherwise, please be prepared to make your own transfer arrangements from the airport to the hotel on arrival and then back to the airport at the end of your trip, as we cannot guarantee there will be space for you on any of our transfer buses.
