Ariel Tours: Our Tours

Ariel Tours is one of the leading tour operators to the Middle East. We book hotel rooms in enormous quantities and we buy more seats on El-Al Israel Airlines than almost anyone else. This is why our tours are a fraction of the cost of making arrangements on your own. To purchase a tour, have your travel agent contact us. If you don't have an agent, we're happy to recommend one to you.

A complete list of the tours we offer:

Customized Chauffeur-Driven Private Car Tours

For that special vacation -- a honeymoon, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a wedding anniversary; for the free spirit with definite ideas about where to go and what to see; and for those who like to travel at their own pace with their own family and friends, Ariel Tours offers customized Private Car Tours of Israel. You'll journey at ease and in style in the care of an expert, licensed guide who will also serve as your chauffeur. When the touring day is done, you'll retire to one of the country's finest hotels to rest, relax, and get ready for the next day.
When you travel by private car, anything is possible. Have your travel agent tell us the dates of travel, category of hotel, and places you'd like to see and we'll provide a detailed quotation and itinerary that's personalized for you.

The Sunshine Tours

Our 15-night and 12-night Sunshine Tours are among our most popular programs. These tours are wonderful worry-free and all-inclusive adventures. They provide for a substantial stay in Jerusalem with plenty of time to explore Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the Galilee. The 15-night tour ends with an exciting visit to Petra in Jordan and a relaxing two-night stay in Eilat, Israel's Red Sea resort.
The tours include hotel accommodations in the price range of your choice, breakfast and dinner daily, ten (15-night tour) or eight (12-night tour) days of comprehensive sightseeing from the comfort of deluxe air-conditioned vehicles, the services of a licensed, English-speaking guide, and much more.

Essential Israel Tours

Our Essential Israel Tours are available in lengths of 13, 11, 9, or 7 nights. These are the best short tours of Israel offered by anyone. They're perfect in combination with our packages to Eilat, Jordan, Egypt, or Greece.
All of the important, must-see highlights are included in the Essential Israel tours. You have your choice of five different hotel plans for maximum budgeting flexibility. These tours include breakfast daily, sightseeing from the comfort of deluxe, air-conditioned vehicles, the services of a licensed, English-speaking guide, and more.

Christian Pilgrimage Tour

Our 7-night Christian Pilgrimage Tour focuses on Israeli sights of interest to Christians. In Jerusalem you'll see the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the room of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and much more. You'll see Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the Mounts of the Temptation and the Beatitudes. You'll go for a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
Our Christian Pilgrimage Tour offers you a choice of three hotel plans, breakfast and dinner daily, and five full days of sightseeing in deluxe, air-conditioned vehicles with a licensed, English-speaking guide.

Eilat

Extend your Israeli vacation with a 3-night stay in Eilat, one of the world's great resort cities. Eilat is on the Red Sea (trust us, it's blue) and offers a unique underwater observatory. Try hiking near the Red Canyon (it's really yellow) or just relax and enjoy yourself. You can fly to Eilat and back, or fly one way and drive the other in a rental car we'll provide. This allows you to experience the Negev Desert, Israel's wild and grand frontier, and it most popular attractions.

Jordan

If you're looking for an exotic ending to your tour of Israel, why not try a few days in Jordan? Our 3-night, 2-night, and 1-night tours of Jordan all include a chauffeur-driven private car. All also include a full day in Petra, the "Red rose city/half as old as time", which is carved into pink cliffs.

Egypt

Our 7-night, 4-night, 3-night, and 2-night tours of Egypt all include the Great Pyramid of Giza and its neighbor, the enigmatic Sphinx, which has reigned for almost 35 centuries. You'll also see the Egyptian museum and its fabulous treasure of King Tut, and the sprawling Khan El Khalili, one of the world's best known Middle Eastern bazaars.
