Agriculture

The majority of the farms in Israel are based on cooperative principles such as kibbutz where members work and production benefits all in the community. There are also ‘farming villages’ known as moshav’s, each family maintains their own land though purchasing and marketing are done cooperatively. We visit a kibbutz and learn more about the agricultural systems of this productive country. Our visits also include a vineyard, a micro irrigation establishment and a company specialising in dairy herd management & monitoring.

Highlights

Israel is regarded by Jews, Christians & Muslims as the Holy Land, there are of course many sights linked to all these faiths. Our tour will encompass visits with familiar names such as the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane & the Wailing Wall.

We include a tour of the Old City of Jerusalem reputed to be one of the most interesting places in the world. Visits to the Dead Sea & the Negev Desert two natural wonders of the world and we take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.

More to expect

A trip to Israel would not be complete without experiencing the local cuisine and culture, our various activities will explore these aspects of the country including lunch on a Kibbutz, a Shabbat dinner and lunch in a Bedouin Tent.
