Tauck reports it will continue to expand its offerings in the Middle East next year with the addition of its first-ever itinerary featuring Israel. The company’s new 14-day Israel and Jordan tour will include a combined eight days in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem before concluding with six-days in neighboring Jordan.

“Our guests have shown tremendous interest in the Middle East,” said Tauck CEO Dan Mahar, “and the addition of Israel is the next logical step in building our portfolio there.” Tauck launched its first tour in the region in 2006 in Egypt, and its success was mirrored by the strong performance of an Egypt and Jordan tour added the following year.

According to Mahar, the journey will explore the important roles of different religions within Israel, as well as non-religious influences ranging from the Roman occupation to contemporary art and design. “Early in the tour our guests will attend a discussion with members of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Baha’i and Druze faiths,” said Mahar. “The history and traditions of each religion will be explored, providing great context and perspective for the many iconic religious sites we’ll visit later in the tour.”
