Interesting Links
Western Wall Live Webcam - During the first century BC, King Herod greatly enlarged the Temple Mount and rebuilt the temple. The Western Wall is the holiest site in Judaism as it is the closest that the Jewish people can get to the original site of the temple. This camera will be pointed at the Western Wall 24 hours a day, except on the Shabbat.
Zefat Live Webcam - The city of Zefat (Sefad) is about 5 miles north of the Sea of Galilee. Most of the modern population of Zefat is Jewish. This camera is pointed southwest toward the hills of Lower Galilee. When it is clear, you can see the northwestern corner of the Sea of Galilee on the left hand side of the screen. The lights going up the hill from the sea is the modern city of Tiberias.
Mount Bental Live Webcam - Mount Bental is located in the Golan Heights about 3 miles west of the border with Syria. This camera is facing northwest. When it is clear, you can see Mount Hermon on the right hand side of the screen. Mount Hermon rises over 9,000 feet in elevation and sits on the border of Israel, Syria, and Lebanon. The Biblical cities of Dan and Caesarea Philippi sit toward the base of Mount Hermon.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I send in the remaining portion of my payment for the tour? All of the final payments are due to me by 100 days prior to departure. For this tour, that date is Saturday, January 3, 2026.
I have a lot of questions about the tour, like “What type of clothes do I pack?” and “Do I need to exchange currency before traveling?” How can I get those questions answered? Well, you are welcome to email me at any time, and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. However, after we pass the final deadline of January 3, I will be sending everyone a lot of information about the tour. This includes a special booklet that I have written that answers many of these logistical questions.
What if I need to cancel my reservation for the tour? Well, I would be sad to hear that, but sometimes circumstances change, and that becomes a necessity. For everyone who had sent in a $500 deposit to Nawas International Travel, $200 of that deposit is non-refundable. The rest of the funds, as well as other funds that you may pay, are subject to the cancellation policy on the Terms and Conditions page on the Nawas website.
