Day 1: Arrive Jerusalem

Welcome to Israel, where we'll kick off our tour in the City of Gold. A visit to the Mount of Olives, a religious centre of Christianity, Islam & Judaism, will give us a breathtaking view over the city.

Day 2: Jerusalem

Today we’ll get to know the city a little better with a full day tour, uncovering secrets and culture that dates back thousands of years. We’ll discover Jerusalem’s holy history and key sites, including the Jewish Quarter and the Arab Market. With all that knowledge in our heads and all those exciting snaps in our camera roll, this tour is already proving to be utterly enlightening…

Day 3: Jerusalem

Jerusalem, we're not done with you yet! We’ll spring out of bed for more exploring, this time going beyond the monuments and digging deep into ancient life. We’ll visit the sobering sites of the Yad Vashem Museum and Memorial, also known as The World Holocaust Remembrance Centre. The Second Temple Model will give us an inkling of what the city looked like in ancient times.

Day 4: Jerusalem

Our final day in this ancient city is a full free day, which is the perfect chance to opt to head out and experience the ancient allure of the Dead Sea and Masada. You'll drive through Jericho and the Judean hills along the shores of the Dead Sea to Masada, the last s...

Day 8: Eilat

A full day to enjoy the coastal resort of Eilat? You got that right. Today is all about kicking back, relaxing, and indulging in a little r&r - and with the Red Sea at our toes and the sun on our faces, the good vibes will be unstoppable. You'll have the chance to opt to head to the Underwater Observatory to ogle marine life, hit the beach, or just relax by the pool.

Day 9: Eilat to Tel Aviv

We’ll say goodbye to the coastal city of Eilat and catch a speedy flight to the cosmopolitan city of Tel Aviv.Welcome to Tel Aviv, Israel’s second-largest city - and arguably its most modern. After all the ancient history we've absorbed over the last 9 days, you'll have the whole afternoon and evening free to orientate yourself into the urban vibes of this city.

Day 10: Tel Aviv

Today is a free day to explore at your own pace, and in a city inundated with beaches, parks, museums, shopping centres and cafes, boredom simply isn’t an option. Keep it high energy with a day full of seeing the sights and sinking your teeth into Tel Aviv’s eclectic ...

We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.

No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.

We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.

With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.

About the company:
Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?

Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.
