The Behlehem tour begins with the Nativity Circle and a visit to Bethlehem's
Manger Square. Then we will visit the
Grotto of the Nativity, a cave located under the Church, which according to Christian tradition, is the place where Jesus was born. After that we will visit the main
Basilica of the Nativity, constructed on the ruins of its predecessor in 565 AD. After passing the Armenian Chapel of the Kings, we will also visit the
Catholic Church of St. Catherine, adjoining the Basilica of the Nativity. Our last stop in our tour of
Bethlehem, before we return to Jerusalem to end our day, will be to a beautiful overview of the Shepherds' Fields, and the special Church of the Shepherds' Fields.
* Due to visitor overload, a visit down to the Grotto of Nativity might not be possible because of tour time schedule.
