2. When's the best time to make my trip to the Holy Land?
Israel is one of the most fascinating and important spots on earth, and even if it were to rain every day, it would be hard to dampen the glory and excitement of the places you'll be visiting.
High season is June through August, Christmas week, Passover and Easter Holidays. Low season is September through December 20 and January through May. Since Israel's climate is so diverse, any time of year is perfect for Israel travel. January or February is a great time to visit as this is low season and prices are lower than the rest of the year during this time.
Summertime is generally more expensive and very warm, but it's also the time that many people choose to visit because schools are closed and vacation time is plentiful. Perhaps the loveliest times of the year are May and October, Spring and Fall, when days are balmy and beautiful. Costs are more than Winter months, but weather can be spectacular.
The true answer to this question is that the best time to travel to the Holy Land is any time that you are able to go!
3. How do I / we make the payments?
Payments are done by cheque, direct deposits into our bank accounts or even credit cards. You can pay in installments but the full amount has tobe cleared two weeks before the date of travel. The initial installment (not less than Kshs. 30,000 or equivalent) is payable upon registration. This enables us to start processing visas, hotel and travel bookings.
4. What's the weather like?
Israel has two seasons. It is warm to very hot from late March to October. It usually doesn't rain then. It is sometimes cold, from late October to March, though it rarely snows. You can also visit: The current weather forecast in Israel to get more information on this.
5. How far in advance do I need to plan my Israel tour?
