Led by an experienced English speaking tour guide, we’ll head to some of the most iconic locations from the Old Testament. From the old fishing village where Mary Magdalene was born (Magdala), to a jar found in the Wedding Church of Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle of the water turned into wine.
