FRequently ASKED Questions

Is it safe to travel to Israel?

Have you ever mentioned to someone that you’d like to visit Israel and received a response along the lines of, “Wow. I don’t think I’d do that. It isn’t safe!”? Many visitors have had this response from concerned family and friends (and a few strangers!) about travel to the Holy Land. Most of the time when Israel is spoken about in the news, it is because of something bad happening, but there is a difference between rhetoric and reality! The reality is, Israel Is one of the safest countries in the world to visit. While there are daily security concerns, as there are for any free country, most days are lived in peace. Both Arabic and Hebrew are spoken as official languages of the state. Arabs and Jews both serve in Parliament and other government positions. Many live in peace and friendship everyday, living life side-by-side.

It is important to remember that millions of visitors come to Israel every year with no incidence. Our tour provider Immanuel Tours would never put those who travel with us in harm’s way. If we felt any situation arose that made it unsafe, we would be very upfront and work with our groups to ensure not only safety, but peace of mind. We want those who travel to Israel with us to leave wishing they never had to and understanding why we love this place so much.

Know that every effort is taken to ensure the safety of those who travel with us. We use only the best tour buses that offer superior safety and our drivers and tour guides are well-versed in how to respond in every situation, should one arise. Your safety is the most important thing to us and something we work tirelessly to ensure.

How will we be travelling while in Israel?

While planning a tour of the Holy Land, there are many things to consider. Mostly people think of the itinerary and site visits. Where will they go, how many days will they be there. These are all very important, to be certain. However, something that many people forget to think about though is just as important and vital to making the other parts of your tour enjoyable… being comfortable. The nation of Israel is 290 miles from it’s northern border near Lebanon to it’s southern border that is right between Egypt and Jordan and eighty-five miles from west to east. While this might not seem very large, in fact it is about the same size as the state of New Jersey, Extensive tour days from morning until evening, make being in comfort is of upmost importance on your journey and we takes this very seriously. We use only the best tour buses that offer superior safety.

We use Irizar I6s touring buses that allow for passengers to feel very comfortable and less fatigued while keeping their attention on the pilgrimage. Buses are fully equipped, including having wifi available for passenger usage and a Bosch audio system to ensure you hear everything the guide is teaching clearly. You can always be sure that our drivers will have cold water available in the dashboard refrigerator to keep you refreshed and feeling your best on the tour.

Our tour operator, Immanuel Tours, takes great care in when choosing members of their staff to ensure only the best service for those who we are blessed to serve. Whether you have David, Charlie or another driver, you can be sure we make great efforts to ensure your comfort, safety, enjoyment and satisfaction throughout your journey.
