2,000 years ago Jesus walked the land here and for a short but very significant time taught and performed miracles. Today, it is still possible to walk in his footsteps but we can do it on two wheels! During the tour, we will visit all of the significant places in the life of Jesus in Israel. From the Annunciation, through miracles and teachings, to the Resurrection. Reading the bible after being at each of these places will never be the same. Each time you read a chapter in the bible or hear a story of the life of Jesus, you will immediately be able to visualize the place and re-create that special feeling of the visit once again. During the visit we will also learn about other religions, the history and culture of Israel. This tour is designed for any rider who has road riding experience and some gravel riding experience.
