A Holy Land Pilgrimage from the UK
A Holy Land pilgrimage is the most profound journey a Christian can make. The Holy Land — the land of the Holy — is where Jesus walked, taught, was crucified and rose again. From the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, where Jesus was crucified and resurrected, to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee where He walked on water, and the Jordan River where He was baptised — every site brings the Gospel to life.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is the most sacred site in Christianity — believed to be the location of Jesus's crucifixion, burial and resurrection. Also known simply as the Holy Sepulchre, this church in Israel draws millions of Christian pilgrims each year. Our Holy Land tours always include a guided visit to the Holy Sepulchre, where you can pray at the tomb and reflect on the heart of the Christian faith. The Holy Sepulchre location in Jerusalem's Old City is easily accessible on our itineraries, and our expert guides bring the rich history of this remarkable church to life.
Our Holy Land tours from the UK include return flights, comfortable accommodation, air-conditioned coach transport, and are always escorted by professional, licensed English-speaking Christian guides. We ensure your journey is spiritually enriching, safe, and seamlessly organised.
All our flight-inclusive Holy Land pilgrimages are fully ATOL protected, giving you peace of mind from the moment you book. Whether you are travelling individually, as a couple, or organising a group pilgrimage with your church or parish, we are here to help you every step of the way.
