You're right craz, they are not an ordinary sightseeing tour group, as they are Jerusalem based but seem to serve primarily American church groups. The value seems good - 6 nights in Nazareth, 4 in Jerusalem with all lodging, meals and ground transportation to/from TLV as well as day trips, all for US $1,331. I would book my own overseas air separately and travel that part of the trip as an individual.

I have not been to Israel since the 70's, but this seems like a very good buy (assuming I can get through security at TLV with the Afghan visa on my passport). Is that impression wrong? The trip was recommended by a friend who went on a similar trip with Sabeel last year, sponsored by her church. But you don't have to be a member of any church, or of Sabeel, in order to participate in this trip.
