On this unique people-to-people journey, travelers will experience the Holy Land of Israel and Palestine through multiple perspectives with the help of two local tour guides: one Israeli and one Palestinian.
Guiding in tandem, they will discuss and highlight different political and historical opinions at each site, in an immersive travel experience that takes you behind the doors of mosques, synagogues, and churches, through active archeological dig sites, and into the homes of Jewish, Arab, Christian, and Druze families.
Local Princeton alumni will join the group along the way, sharing their own Princeton to the Holy Land stories.
