Head To The Holy Land This Holiday Season For Cheap

Where: Israel

Why not consider going beyond the commercialized gift-giving this holiday and make a trip to the Holy Land? Travelzoo offers a package that'll take you to the sacred spot and other sites in Israel. It's a 10-day, eight-night trip with airfare and accommodations included that'll cost you $1,299.

For the three-city tour, you'll be shuttled around in a bus to places like the ancient Roman port of Caesarea, the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth and the Old City of Jerusalem. You'll stay four nights in Jerusalem, two in Galilee and two in Tel Aviv. As part of the package, you'll get nine meals�eight breakfasts and one dinner.

Thing is, this is an "escorted tour," which means that guides will accompany you to all of the sites. So if you aren't into group tours, this may be a deal-breaker. Those of you who'd rather let someone else handle the deets, while all you have to do is show up, might prefer this guided tour. If you love you some guides, there'll be opportunities to add on additional day tours, such as one for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Masada and the Dead Sea (where you'll spend a day anyway) for an extra $85.

The travel dates for this deal are January 7, 21, 28 and February 18 and 25. Also note that the $1,299 price tag is based on booking for two people with a departure from New York; you might have to fork over more money if you want to leave from a different city. To book this package, call Gate 1 Travel at 800-682-3333, ask for the 10-day Israel tour and mention promo code TZIL200. You can also book it online, but don't worry if you see the package listed at $1,499�you'll be instructed later to enter the promo code TZIL200, which will give you the $200 discount.
