FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAVELING TO THE HOLY LAND

Are you thinking about going to the Holy Land, but are concerned about your safety? No need to worry. Here are some questions commonly asked by people planning on going to the Holy Land:

  1. IS IT SAFE TO VISIT THE HOLY LAND?
    Yes, it is. Close to 2.5 million people traveled to the West Bank in 2015. If it was not safe to go there, Traveling To Jerusalem would not be sending pilgrims to the Holy Land!
  2. ARE THERE ANY REGIONS THAT ARE NOT SAFE TO VISIT?
    At this point in time, the only region where it is not possible to travel to on a pilgrimage is the Gaza Strip, located on the southern coast of occupied Palestine and adjacent to the Egyptian border. The security situation in Gaza remains volatile, but the violence is contained to this region of the Holy Land, well out of reach of any of the tours that we are currently planning.
  3. WE KEEP HEARING IT IS DANGEROUS TO VISIT JERUSALEM AND THE WEST BANK?
    Even though Palestine is under occupation, the West Bank which is the home to most of the Holy Shrines is under the control of the Palestinian National Authority, which is supported by the United States, European Union and most of the countries of the World. East Jerusalem, which includes the Christian, Muslim and Jewish places of worship and pilgrimages, is under the control of the state of “Israel”. Since 2002, tourism to both Jerusalem and the West Bank (Bethlehem, Hebron and Jericho), has steadily climbed every year. Both Jerusalem and the West Bank, are very safe for pilgrims to visit.
  4. ISN’T BETHLEHEM SURROUNDED BY A WALL?
    Sadly, yes. But tourists are allowed to cross into and out of the city at all times of the day and night, seven days a week. Occasionally, occupation soldiers may board the tour bus and speak to the bus driver and guide, and you might also be asked to show your passport.
  5. I HEAR THAT SECURITY AT TEL AVIV AIRPORT IS VERY STRICT. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
    Security at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv is very thorough. With tourism being one of the most important sources of income for “Israel”, pilgrimage groups are usually processed through as quickly and efficiently as possible. Some individuals may be questioned as to the purpose of visiting the Holy Land, and may be asked some questions about their stay and their heritage. As with most international flights, the security procedure at the airport may be tedious, but it is a manageable experience.
  6. WHAT CAN I BRING OR NOT BRING TO THE HOLY LAND?
    Pack your own bags as you would for any international flight. The weather is very similar to the West Coast weather year round.
  7. WHILE I AM IN THE HOLY LAND, ARE THERE ANY SAFETY CONCERNS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
    Your guide will brief you on any specific concerns while in the Holy Land. We request that you always carry your passport with you. In general, exercising good common sense is the only real advice you will need.
