Christmas Eve in Jerusalem and Midnight Mass in Bethlehem - From Jerusalem

On the day of Christmas Eve the tour takes you to Jerusalem where the first stop is on the Mount of Olives. Here we enjoy breathtaking views across the Old City. We see the Garden of Gethsemane and enter Jerusalem’s Old City. Here we tour the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, site of Calvary, Jesus’ burial tomb and other sacred Christian sites.

Driving through modern-day Jerusalem we pass landmarks like the Israeli Knesset and Israel Museum then head for Bethlehem. We arrive at Bethlehem’s Manger Square then indulge in a festive Christmas Eve dinner. At midnight we attend Mass in the Church of Nativity or we join Christians from across the globe in Manger Square to watch Christmas Eve Midnight Mass on outdoor screens.
