Israel-1

There is no experience quite like it! A Holy Land tour is an unforgettable experience. It is also the greatest Bible learning experience in the world. 

But you don’t want to choose just any trip to Israel. Many tour guides and tour companies give an anti-Israel sentiment or fail to understand Biblical Christianity. When you travel with Dispensational Publishing House, you’ll have an expert Jewish guide who is very familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures, the Hebrew foundations of Christianity, the life and times of Jesus the Messiah and the birth of the church out of Judaism. You’ll also have the strongly biblical teaching of Dr. Randy White, who has toured Israel for many years and taken hundreds of people to the Holy Land.

This trip includes both Israel and Jordan, at an unbeatable ALL-INCLUSIVE price. The trip price of $(Call for Price) includes airfare (see below for details), three meals daily from arrival to departure, hotels, luxury coach exclusive to our group, expert guides, entry fees, bottled water—even tips and taxes. The only thing not included is trip insurance, which is strongly encouraged.

Attention pastors, professors, and other potential tour hosts: Email us about “Tour Host” discounts.

We start at Timna Park, which is located in a beautifully majestic desert setting and has incredible history and geology. A life-size replica of the Biblical Tabernacle has been constructed in Timna Park.  Water flowing from the Ein Avdat in the heart of the Negev has cut a deep, narrow canyon through the soft white chalk. A waterfall tumbles from above and greenery flourishes around its pools where the ibex and other animals come to quench their thirst. Experience the unique feeling of floating on the water of the Dead Sea. Dinner and overnight at the Dead Sea

Airfare Information

Because travelers will be coming from all parts of the United States, airfare is included in the price, and travel arrangements will be made on an individual basis by Dispensational Publishing House. Early arrivals or late departures are possible, but you would be responsible for arranging and paying for your own transport to or from the airport and extra lodging. Assistance with arrangements is available. Airfare is guaranteed at the reservation price for flights from Chicago, New York, Houston, Atlanta and Minneapolis. Other cities may vary, and are often available at the same cost. When you register, we will ask for your preferred departure city and you will notify us at that time whether you desire extensions or early arrivals. We can also arrange airfare going to third-point destinations. While you can make your own airfare arrangements and receive a “land-only” price, the airfare would only be covered under our travel insurance option if all travel is arranged by DPH.

Trip Insurance

Trip insurance is available and strongly recommended, though not required. You can use our group provider or your own insurance agent.

Trip insurance through our provider is $250. “Cancel for Any Reason” insurance is available for $370 and must be purchased within 14 days of registration.

Some of the benefits of trip insurance:

  • If you or an immediate family member gets sick, laid off, or has another emergency, you will receive a full refund of your registration fees.
  • If you want “cancel for any reason” insurance, it will cost more, but it will reimburse a large portion of your trip registration fees for any reason.
  • If your flight is delayed requiring extra transfers or hotel stays, these will be reimbursed.
  • If your luggage is lost, you will be reimbursed for purchases to replace your personal goods.
  • If you have a medical need while traveling, expenses will be reimbursed. Some insurance providers do not cover overseas medical needs. Check with your provider.

Holy Land Tour Safety

If you’ve ever been on a Holy Land tour, you know that safety is only a concern before the tour begins. After the first day, every traveler feels safe, secure, and comfortable with their surroundings. Our Dispensational Publishing House Holy Land Tour will use the expert services of EDI Travel of Israel for our guide, buses and driver. EDI is experienced in Christian travel to Israel and Jordan, and safety is their number one concern. If at any time prior to the tour DPH or EDI considers the trip unsafe, the trip will be canceled and you will be refunded any previously contributed payments through your travel insurance, and no further payments will be required. EDI is in touch with the Israel Department of Tourism on a constant basis and is very aware of any problem areas in Israel. These areas, if any, will be avoided.

Theological Perspective

We believe that the theological perspective of your tour leaders and guide is of greatest importance when traveling to Israel. Briefly, our theological perspective is:

  • We believe that Israel and the church are distinct—we reject replacement theology.
  • We believe in a pre-tribulational rapture of the church and a coming “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), in which God will draw Israel unto Himself.
  • We believe that the modern nation of Israel has a God-given right to the land of Israel.
  • We believe that all people must be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
