At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Jerusalem and begin a tour to discover the holy city of Bethlehem.

We'll cross the Judean Hills to Bethlehem. Our first stop is Manger Square, where the three wise kings came to show their adoration for newborn baby Jesus. The square is home to the Church of Nativity, which includes the grotto where Jesus was born. After this visit, we'll take a 20-minute break.
