Destination

PROMISE THEM THE PROMISED LAND

Though a small country, approximately the same size as Wales Israel, has become an important incentive destination. Ancient and not so ancient history, glistening beaches and clear skies, desert that miraculously bloom and lush green valleys are spread out majestically in this fascinating country.

As incentives motivate and reward outstanding employee, they deserve the best. They strive to reach their goal, Israel is certainly something to achieve for many of the places names have been familiar since childhood. The birth place of the three major religions, where the bible is needed as a guide book. The miracles, past and present, that have so long endeared Israel to so many. In Israel, history is now.

But, of course, to be considered as an incentive destination, more is needed than just history. World Class hotels, fine dining, modern facilities, and out-of the ordinary activities are also required. Israel has these and much, much more. Let us motivate you to consider Israel for your future incentives.

As we said, promise them the promised land, and we'll promise you an incentive that is second to none.

Example Programme

Day One:
Transfer from Tel Aviv Airport to hotel. Welcome drink upon arrival.
Dinner at White Rhapsody Fish Restaurant in the Tel Aviv Port.

Day Two:

Full day tour of the Old City of Jerusalem
Depart Tel Aviv for Jerusalem. Our walking tour will take us through the cobble streets of the ancient city. The iconic sites will lead us to the Western Wall, surviving relic of the magnificent Temple built by Herod. Following the different stations of the Via Dolorosa we reach the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the holiest Christian site in Jerusalem. The visit to the Citadel, which is located on the highest point in the Old City, allows a most impressive view of the Old and New city. The Citadel houses the Museum for the History of Jerusalem, with multi-media exhibits depicting the history of the city in the First and Second Temple eras, the Muslim and Crusader periods as well as the Ottoman age. After a refreshing lunch in the Old City at the Nafura Armenian Restaurant, we end the day with a short tour of the New City including the Parliament and Mount of Olives. 

Dinner this evening will be at The Brewhouse restaurant part of a microbrewery nestled on the stylish Rothschild Boulevard. Its interior features dark wood and gold trim, but the restaurant's centerpiece is the massive gold tank used for brewing the three beers offered: a dark, red and a golden beer.

Day Three:

Full Day Tour of Massada / Dead Sea
This tour combines the discovery of a unique natural phenomenon, the Dead Sea, with one of the most famous historical and archaeological sites in Jewish history, Massada. The abundance of well-preserved ruins unearthed by the diggings make this visit an interesting and impressive experience. A cable car makes the ascent from the east side of this cliff towering above the Dead Sea basin. The excavations at Massada unearthed two major findings: The well-appointed fortress built by Herod, decorated with frescoes, mosaics, handsome patios and colonnades. Traces of remarkably simple and functional structures for housing and command headquarters were left by the Zealots, a Jewish faction resisting the Romans, when the site served, for a short period, as a refuge for these inspired patriots. Looking down to the base of the cliff it is possible to see the remains of Roman camps used during the siege of Massada.

Lunch and swim at a Dead Sea Spa Hotel.

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, about 380 metres below sea level. Rich in minerals, the Dead Sea attracts vacationers from around the world who come to enjoy the thermo-mineral springs, in Dead Sea water, the bromine-saturated air and of course, the famous black mud. The Dead Sea is extremely buoyant, a float “is a must!” Head onto a Bedouin Village for a special evening!

Bedouin Feast in the Desert
Enjoy a feast like no other in a unique dessert location. Dine on sumptuous food and enjoy the warm and friendly Bedouin atmosphere.

During your evening in the desert you will be entertained by belly dancers and learn about the Bedouin’s rituals and music.

Day Four:

Half Day orientation tour of Tel Aviv and Jaffa
Tel-Aviv is the bustling business centre of Israel, with many museums, theatres and auditoriums. Tel-Aviv also boasts modern architecture, alongside classic examples of the Bauhaus school of the 1930’s and 1940’s brought to Israel by New immigrant architects at that time. The Neve Tsedek area, one of the first neighbourhoods built outside Jaffa, is now an Artist’s Colony and is being lovingly restored. We will continue our visit in Jaffa, one of the World's most ancient port cities, where stone buildings, narrow passages and picturesque courtyards recall the rich past of this charming city. A visit to the unique underground Visitor’s Centre guides the participant through the past two thousand years. Today, Old Jaffa is alive and houses a thriving artists’ colony. The twisting passages will reveal antiquities and coins, ceramics, silk screen art, impressionist paintings, hand-woven goods and exquisite jewellers, all born in an atmosphere inspired by the surroundings. Visit the Rishon Le Zion Wineries, Israel’s oldest winery.

Your elegant Candle Light Farewell Dinner will be a memorable finale at the magnificent Ilana Goor Museum.

Day Five:
Coach Departure for the airport for your return flight.
