JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

Planning your ideal journey to the Holy Land!

About

It all began in 2014 — a spark, a vision, a journey.

Our very first group travelled to Jerusalem: 36 people from all walks of life, different ages, backgrounds, and stories. What united us? A shared longing to walk the sacred paths of the Holy Land. That journey was more than a trip — it was a deeply personal, spiritual awakening that connected hearts through faith and purpose.

But why is it called the Holy Land?

This land holds a timeless sanctity — the cradle of Prophets and divine revelations. It’s where Islam’s first qiblah once stood, and where the miraculous Isra and Mi’raj took place. It cradles the footsteps of saints, scholars, and seekers. And within its sacred walls, Maryam (Mary), peace be upon her, was raised in purity and devotion under the care of the family of ‘Imran.
This is more than a destination — it’s a return to something your soul has always known.

The trip led by [uncle] Nazim from Forgotten Lands was very well organised with a lot of eye opening and life changing experiences. This being my first time in Palestine I was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but ...

Irfan

This was truly a special trip, the whole group bonded really well. Our group leader also made the experience a trip we will remember forever, by planning activities we thoroughly enjoyed and asking for input on what we wanted to see throughout the whole trip.

Before leaving, i had worries about our journey to Jerusalem; however, the whole trip ran smoothly, and we always felt safe. Meeting the locals and hearing all their stories, and praying in Al-Aqsa were some of my favourite moments from the trip. We were also really lucky to go to the Banksy hotel in Bethlehem, full of information and art. Additionally, we went on a walking tour of the old city which was very informative, not only from an islamic perspective but we also learned about Christian and Jewish beliefs.
I hope and pray to be blessed to visit Palestine again with Holy Land dates.

Umarah Siddiqui

Alhamdulillah my experience with Holy Land was just amazing. The way the tour was planned in and out of Jerusalem gave us the chance to explore deeper into the history of Palestine. And most definitely the group leads and all those attending the tour just added to the experience! The ease, approachability and friendliness of everyone involved made the trip so memorable. And of course visiting and witnessing the beauty of Palestine, its culture and its people, makes me definitely want to go again, the pros massively outweigh the ‘cons’. Thank you to the team for arranging such an unforgettable trip :)

Frequently Asked Questions

WILL I GET THROUGH IMMIGRATION?

Immigration delays at Tel Aviv airport are common. Entry into Israel is determined solely by Israeli immigration authorities, and we have no influence over who is allowed entry.
If you are refused entry, all costs paid for the trip and non refunadable and non transferable.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THROUGH IMMIGRATION?

'Delays at Tel Aviv airport can often last several hours. Be prepared by bringing any necessary medications, food, and drinks in your hand luggage, as there are no food options available before clearing immigration. After passing through immigration, you will find several cafes.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET FROM TEL AVIV AIRPORT TO JERUSALEM (OLD CITY)?

We will travel to Jerusalem by private coach, with an estimated journey time of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

WILL MY PASSPORT BE STAMPED ON ARRIVAL AT TEL AVIV AIRPORT?

Your passport will not be stamped by Israeli authorities. Instead, you will receive an entry permit upon arrival. It is advisable to staple this permit into your passport, as you will need it for travel within Israel and Palestine.

TRAVELLING WITHIN THE OLD CITY?

This is a walking tour. The Old City is characterized by steep slopes and cobbled streets, and there are no taxis available to take you from the Holy Land Hotel to Masjid Al Aqsa. Therefore, please ensure you wear sensible and appropriate footwear. 

CAN I USE MY WHEELCHAIR IN THE OLD CITY?

Using a wheelchair in the Old City can be challenging due to the cobbled streets. However, many people successfully navigate the area with their wheelchairs.

WILL THE HOTEL PROVIDE WHEELCHAIRS IF NEEDED?

The hotel can provide wheelchairs if available, but it is recommended to bring your own as the quality may not match those in the UK. If you need HolyLand to arrange a wheelchair, you MUST notify us at the time of booking so we can make the necessary arrangements. 

WHICH HOTEL DO YOU STAY IN?

We will be staying at the Holy Land Hotel, a newly renovated establishment with an excellent location just outside the Old City. It is within walking distance of both the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al-Aqsa.

HOW FAR IS MASJID AL AQSA FROM THE HOTEL?

The walk from the hotel to Masjid AL Aqsa is around 7-8 minutes. 

DO YOU TAKE GROUPS FROM JERUSALEM TO THE WEST BANK?

On our main day of ziyaarats, all tour groups will be transported by coach to the West Bank. During this journey, it is imperative to keep your passport and travel permit with you at all times. You will encounter checkpoints where security personnel will frequently inspect this documentation.

MONEY EXCHANGE

The local currency is Shekels. We recommend bringing a minimum of £100 worth of shekels from the UK, and upon arrival, we can guide you to reputable local money exchangers in Jerusalem.

WEATHER

The weather between November -March is very cold and wet. The weather between April-October is warm and typical summer temperatures reach 30 degrees centigrade (plus).

CAN CHILDREN TRAVEL?

We have welcomed many children on our tours to Jerusalem, with some as young as 6 months old joining us on their journey with Holly Lands. 

DO I NEED A VISA TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL?

Yes, you will need a valid visa to travel to Israel. The cost of the visa is 25 NIS (approximately £6).
