Shalom and welcome to Israel! The moment you land, our OUTstanding team will be at the airport, ready to meet you and escort you to your hotel in Jerusalem. Upon arrival, you will be served a welcoming dinner, where you will meet your guide for the tour as well as the fabulous people who will join you on this adventure. If you’re tired from your flight, you can spend the evening at the hotel for a comfortable night to relax and rejuvenate for tomorrow. If you’re not too tired, you are more than welcome to walk around the city at your leisure. But remember, tomorrow is a new and wonderful day for more exploring!

Overnight in Jerusalem

Good morning, Jerusalem! It’s your first full day in the Holy Land so we’re getting off to an early start. After a filling Israeli breakfast, we’ll make our way over to Jerusalem’s Old City. One of the most historically significant and sought after places on Earth, the Old City of Jerusalem is teeming with thousands of years of history, with surprises to be found around every corner. Join us as we take a tour of some of the Old CIty’s most iconic spots including the Holy Sepulchre, King David's Tomb and the room of the last supper, the Via Dolorosa, the Western Wall, and even a journey underground into the Western Wall Tunnels. A visit to the Old City of Jerusalem is always an unforgettable experience, which we think can be best enjoyed with new and great friends!

Overnight in Jerusalem

Our second day in Jerusalem will be spent in the New City. We’ll start our day off at Machane Yehuda, one of the largest open-air marketplaces in Israel. An experience for all five senses, we’ll walk through the narrow alleyways of Machane Yehuda, take in all the smells and sounds, and soak in the vibrant culture. The next part of our day will also be packed with Israeli culture, with a visit to the Israel Museum. Ranked among the world’s best artistic and archaeological collections, the Israel Museum houses some of the greatest works of Israeli art as well as Jewish cultural artifacts from all over the world and some of the Middle East’s most significant archaeological finds. Step back in time with a visit to the world’s largest scale model of Jerusalem as it was 2,000 years ago, get an up-close look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known manuscript containing excerpts of the modern Bible, or take a photo in front of the iconic “AHAVA” sculpture (Hebrew for “Love”).

Overnight in Jerusalem

Time to move on to the next adventure! Leaving Jerusalem bright and early, you’ll be transported to the beautiful Masada National Park. We’ll ascend by cable-car to the mountaintop where the ancient fortress sits. Rising out of the desert and overlooking the biblical Moab Mountains, Masada was built in 30 BCE by King Herod and remains one of the greatest symbols of Jewish hope and pride. Later on, we’ll cross over the border into Jordan for a relaxing afternoon on the Jordanian coast of the Dead Sea. The lowest point on Earth, The Dead Sea sits on the border between Israel and Jordan and is famous for its rejuvenating and exfoliating sea mud. At this point, you will be able to enjoy your free time on the beach of the Dead Sea, soak up the minerals, and freshen up your skin for the coming days. That night, you will be sleeping at the luxurious beachfront Kempinski Ishtar hotel and preparing for the next day's adventure.

Overnight in Dead Sea, Jordan

Today you will be going on awe-inspiring nature walk through Jordan’s Wadi Mujib Reserve. You’ll be hiking along rivers and through steep canyons with breathtaking views, so strap on your hiking boots and prepare to get wet. Once we’re finished exploring Wadi Mujib, we’ll head back to our luxury hotel on the Dead Sea for another relaxing Arabian night. This day will be a nice break from all the history and culture of the last few days, so enjoy this opportunity to relax as a group and experience the stunning landscape of this part of the Middle East.

Overnight in Dead Sea, Jordan

This morning we’ll check out of our Dead Sea luxury hotel and drive south in our air conditioned bus for about two hours to the crown jewel of Jordan, Petra. Once the capital city of the ancient Nabataean Kingdom, Petra, also known as the “Rose-Red City”, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and is listed by Smithsonian Magazine as one of the 28 places you should visit before you die. While there, we’ll take a tour of the ancient city with plenty of time to explore, take photos, and bask in the majesty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Petra, we’ll drive to Wadi Rum, an otherworldly, red-rock landscape in the Jordanian desert. We’ll be spending the night at the famous Aicha Memories Camp, a luxury hotel comprised of bedouin tents and unusual geodesic domes that look like something out of a science fiction film. A night in these Panoramic Domes is a once in a lifetime experience that truly feels out of this world.

Overnight in Wadi Rum, Jordan

Today we’ll be taking a tour of Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert, but not in the average way. These breathtaking landscapes are extreme and therefore need to be explored in an extreme way if you really want to get the full experience. So we’ll begin our day with an off-road vehicle tour of the desert, allowing us to get as close as possible to all the best vistas and landmarks in Wadi Rum. After your tour, you’ll switch to a more relaxing ride through the desert - on the back of a camel! After these two crazy rides through Wadi Rum, we’ll head south to Aqaba, Jordan’s southern port city on the Red Sea. Once we arrive, we’ll check in to our stunning hotel, where we’ll be spending two nights. Feel free to wander around Aqaba and check out the city, or stay in and enjoy the hotel.

Overnight in Aqaba, Jordan

Today is your free day to explore at your own pace and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of Aqaba. Borrow some goggles from the hotel and go snorkeling in the Red Sea, enjoy the local food, shop for souvenirs or take some time for yourself at the spa of the hotel.

Overnight in Aqaba, Jordan 

After a nice and relaxing day in Aqaba, we’re heading back to Israel. Of course, all the logistics of the border crossing will be handled by us, so just sit back and enjoy the very brief flight from Ramon Airport to Tel Aviv. Once we land at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, we’ll head to the White City. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a Pride reception to help get you ready for an unforgettable Pride weekend.

Overnight in Tel Aviv, Israel

After a comfortable night’s rest in Tel Aviv, enjoy waking up to a view of the beautiful Mediterranean coastline from your window. Following breakfast, you’ll be treated to a walking tour of Tel Aviv and Jaffa. With our tour guide, you’ll be introduced to all the most iconic and interesting spots in Tel Aviv. See the city’s UNESCO recognized Bauhaus architecture, check out the aromas of the open-air Carmel Market, and immerse yourself in the history of the ancient city of Jaffa (Yafo). Enjoy the calm before the storm, because tonight begins the whirlwind of a weekend that is Pride in Tel Aviv. Try to get some rest tonight because tomorrow is the world-famous Tel Aviv Pride Parade!

Overnight in Tel Aviv, Israel

HAPPY PRIDE! Today is the day you’ve been looking forward to: the world-famous Tel Aviv Pride Parade. Get ready to see hundreds of thousands of queer and queer-minded folks from all over the world filling the city streets for a day-long celebration of love, acceptance, and PRIDE! The parade begins at noon and ends right on the seashore at Charles Clore Park with live performances, bars, food stands, and thousands of beautiful people partying until the sun goes down. You better be ready for this! And don’t worry if the crowds aren’t your thing, our hotel is located right on the beach overlooking the parade, so you can have a one-of-a-kind view of the parade from the comfort of your hotel room!

Overnight in Tel Aviv, Israel

Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) is celebrated every Saturday and is a day of rest, relaxation, and reflection for Jews all over the world. Shabbat in Tel Aviv during Pride weekend is a great opportunity to relax on the beach and recover from yesterday’s parade while getting ready for another amazing evening of partying. Tonight you’ll be attending Israel’s biggest gay party of the year, hosted by one of the country’s most beloved DJs, Offer Nissim. People from all over the world who flock to Tel Aviv for Pride make sure to stay for Offer Nissim to party the night away under the stars. The outdoor party is, in many ways, the unofficial closing party of Pride. Six hours of non-stop house music, lights, surprise musical guests, and hundreds of sexy men partying under the sunset will make this night one you’ll never forget. If there’s one night to let completely loose and have a little too much fun, it’s definitely this one ;) .
