Israel 2012

In February, I went on my third trip to Israel with a group of Pastors, sponsored by NET Travel (Near East Travel - www.netours.com ). Net is owned by Palestinian Christians, and has been in business since 1964. They did a great job of showing many more things than I saw on my previous two trips.

We traveled from Galilee through Samaria, stopping to drink water from Jacob’s well. Our Palestinian hosts were gracious and friendly, and we had no problems in our several passages through security checkpoints. At this time, I see no issues for Americans to travel within the Palestinian territories. Unlike most tour groups, we spent an entire day in Bethlehem. Again, we enjoyed eating lunch in Arab restaurants, who serve very tasty food. NET also offers an itinerary through the NEGEV desert which gives you the opportunity to see the light show at Masada in the evening.

NET owns 8 hotels and 30 tour buses. They coordinated our itinerary through MTS travel here in the United States – www.mtstravel.com. I was favorably impressed with the hotels and choice of restaurants, and the bus drivers and guides were excellent.
