Discover some of the oldest cities in the world on this six-night escorted Israel adventure for $1299, including airfare and centrally located hotels.

Slicing more than $1200 off competing packages, this entire vacation costs less than airfare and hotel alone.

This itinerary from Gate 1 Travel includes:

• Roundtrip airfare from New York-Tel Aviv
• Six nights accommodations (three in Jerusalem, two in Tiberias, one in Tel Aviv)
• Services of an English-speaking tour manager throughout the trip
• All transfers and entrance fees per itinerary (incl. archaeological sites)
• Seven meals (daily breakfast, one dinner)

Depart: Jan. 5, 19, 26; Feb. 9, 16, 23 (Locals say winter in Israel is like autumn in New York.)

Along the way, guests can experience iconic sites like the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee and Nazareth. With this itinerary, there's plenty of leisure time to hit the nightclubs in Tel Aviv or shop Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem.
