Gil Travel announce special deals for families planning to vacation in Israel this summer with ELAL special family rates.

“An Israel family vacation presents an exciting opportunity for children and teens to learn about their culture and history,” reports Iris Hami, Vice-President of Gil Travel. “Our goal is to present the information in a way that is interactive and fun for children. In fact, we make a strong effort to match each guide with the type of people on a particular tour, in order to find the guide that is most suitable to each group’s age range and interests.”

Recommended education adventures for the whole family to enjoy during an Israel Tour include:

·         A donkey ride at Kfar Kedem, where travelers can actually hitch a plow to one of the donkeys and work the land or put their shoulder to the wheel of an ancient grindstone to prepare the whole-grain flour.

·         A chance to pet the kangaroos at Gan Guru.

Gil Travel recently organized a Christian Israel tour for a group of 130 pastors and their spouses led by General Bishop Charles Scott of the Pentecostal Church of God International.

The trip was part of the Eagles’ Wings “Watchmen on the Wall” program to educate the Christian community about supporting Israel. 

Gil Travel coordinated Israel travel plans for the group which included meeting with Israeli government officials, taking a tour of the country and presenting a prayer covenant to Knesset on behalf of the 4,700 Pentecostal Churches worldwide.

“This educational mission marked the Pentecostal Church’s first official solidarity mission to Israel and the first Christian Israel tour led by Bishop Scott,” reports Iris Hami, Vice-President of Gil Travel.  “Gil Travel was careful to ensure that every detail, from departure to return, was strategically arranged to provide a rewarding and memorable experience for the entire group.”

Gil Travel operates weekly guaranteed Christian Israel tours from Sunday to Sunday.  For more information about Holy Land tours, Jewish Heritage Travel, or Non-denominational tours of Egypt, Jordan and Europe, please call 1-800-223-3855 or visit http://www.giltravel.com.
