Your English-speaking driver-guide will wait for you at the hotel lobby ahead of time and take you to Old Jaffa after breakfast. Old Jaffa is one of the oldest ports around the globe, having a history of more than 4,000 years. We'll see a lot of ancient architectures here, out of which the most famous is the Church of St. Peter, a Roman Catholic church open to the public in the daytime. Then we'll have a glimpse of Jewish history, culture and belief at the Diaspora Museum.

In the afternoon, we're going to Rothschild Street, Rabin Square and Sheinkin Street. The eye-catching Bauhaus buildings on both sides of Rothschild Street are the representatives of Tel Aviv, which was rated with the name "White City" to be the UNESCO world cultural heritage in 2003.

There is a round arena that could host 30,000 people and a waterway bridge leading to springs of Carmelite Mountain, from which you can imagine the large scale of the city at that time. Next we'll go to Haifa for the Bahai Gardens, a picturesque garden covering the hill to look down the blue sea port. Then after a short ride about 30 minutes, we'll arrive at the famous Crusader city Akko, where ancient ruins, castles, inns and other remains 1,000 years ago are well preserved. Check in at the local hotel.

After having breakfast, your driver-guide will escort you to the Western Wall, the top holy land for Jews. It's regarded as Wailing Wall as well. Jewish people would come here to pray in a whisper when they get to Jerusalem. With the driver-guide, we'll walk along Via Dolorosa to Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It is said that Jesus was just buried here. 

In the middle of the church, there is a stone where Jesus was laid down from the cross, and there're some devout believers kissing this stone on their knees. Walking out of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, your driver-guide will lead you to witness the markets in the Old City of Jerusalem as well as the life of the locals. 

In the afternoon, we'll go on our Israel 6 days itinerary to visit Yad Vashem in the New City of Jerusalem. It is the memorial of the Jewish Holocaust, a serious place to learn about the tragic history of Jews. And then your driver-guide will also lead you to Mahane Yehuda Market, to experience the usual life of Israelis.
